Some of the best scientist in the US are working in DC right now, and have been working for 20 years, on what to do with the nuclear waste. I wouldn't doubt that the same thing is happening in other countries. If there is a way, those people will find it. In the mean time, I think we need more geothermal plants. The western half of the US is great for geothermal and if you want to dig deep enough, the eastern half can as well. Iceland is trying to become completely energy independent with technology like geothermal and if a big country like the US really wanted to we could really push that technology further than anyone could have imagined a few years ago.

edit-megaman, I believe you mean fusion, we have been doing fission for decades.

 

cheers, yea im with you on geo thermal. No funding here, despite our wide coverage of stored potential in oz. Problem is its too fukn easy to just dig some coal out of the ground, its too cheap.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
