A portable solution for global warming.

[mixedgas]

I am a advocate of more nuclear power. I am a advocate of the extreme solution of handing all nuclear power plants in the US to the US Navy, because guys who live in the same building as their reactors tend to take them seriously.

Once upon a time the US military had some prototype portable reactors that would fit in a few cargo plane loads and used them, with mediocre success.

But this cracks me up:

Of course platinum might want on for his small CVL.

Agree 100%
The Navy would be perfect for the job!

If you want the nuclear "waste" (no clue what is the right word) in your back garden...

This is exactly what they are doing ~15/20 km from my house.

I think in our condition today,,,
(keep burning oil baby)
Nuclear energy FAR out weighs the disposal location!

ahh heck is that acid rain again "ON" my garden from all that oil burning?????

Evening!
Russians make some cool stuff and English Russia is well worth a bookmark. (search cars and also radar station)
Seem to remember reports of an even smaller unit being found by loggers in a forest a few years back. After poking the thing around for a bit, which was about the size of a medium sized safe, all fell ill with radiation sickness and then died. Killed about 6 i think.

They used very small reactors to keep weather stations and such locations in remote areas going. It is the same type of reactor used in satellites if I remember correctly.

I think that's a tad overkill for my purposes -plus I may have a problem with the authorities if I decide to fire up a nuclear reactor. I didn't notice, but was it self-powered too? That would be something.

Just think though.... You could use the CVL to refine uranium and you'd be set!

Hehe. The best solution for Global Warming is a good sense of skepticism on the part of the American people (and then people of the world after that).

I used to be bought into the whole Global Warming thing, but as I do more and more learning myself, I become ever more skeptical.

There's a good piece called The Great Global Warming Swindle which tends to shed some light on it. Part of it can be seen here:

By the way, there are some major inaccuracies in "An Inconvenient Truth", including the statement that the hottest year on record in recent time was 2004.
