Submission + - Liquid Fluorine Thorium Reactors
RudyHartmann writes: Nuclear reactors are a green, safe and an economical way of producing energy. France produces 80% of it's electricity from nuclear reactors. But, Uranium/Plutonium reactors have their draw backs. The fuel is expensive to process and reprocess. They can have dangerous accidents also. There is a cheap and safer alternative on the horizon. The Liquid Fluorine Thorium Reactor. Thorium is more abundant than Uranium. All of it can be used for fuel also. Only Uranium 235 can be used for fuel. It is only .7% of the Uranium found in nature that can be used for fuel. Plutonium can also be used. It is a nuclear byproduct of Uranium reactors. But Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239 can be used to create nuclear weapons. The byproducts of an LFTR (Liquid Fluorine Thorium Reactor) cannot be used to create nuclear weapons or have a meltdown. Additionally, it costs about $60,000,000 to fuel a reactor to create a gigawatt/year of energy. Thorium could cost as little as $10,000 per gigawatt/year. This would create energy so cheap, that oil, coal, gas, and any other current means of energy production would become irrelevant. LFTR's are what fusion proponents have spent billions to build. They still don't work. You could also burn the accumulated nuclear waste in an LFTR. Don't believe me?

This will transform human civilization. This is not a pie in the sky. Some of them have already been built.
Peace

Submission + - Something Fishy in The Middle East With Cut Cables
RudyHartmann writes: "I don't know if you guys have heard about this. But 4 under sea optical cables have been cut in the past week in the Mideast. Two were cut in Egypt, one was cut in Dubai a little bit later. And guess what? One was just cut in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Some people have tried to attribute this to strange coincidences with ships dragging their anchors. Uh huh. Sure. Let me just say that the coincidence is too statistically staggering.
All these cables have effectively cut off......you may have guessed it......Iran from the Internet. Their bandwidth has now been reduced to 1993 levels. That's like trying to drive while looking through a straw.
In this age of modern warfare, one of the first acts of war is to blind your enemy. I cite the first and second wars against Iraq as a proof of concept. It has to either be the US or Israel that is setting up for something against Iran.
Mark my words, this is no accident. Something fishy is going on."
