I couldn't say, I haven't looked at all into the design of the japanese reactors.

It's a fascinating experiment tho - what happens to a nuclear plant in an earthquake. And how do you repair a reactor after an earthquake, lol.

An expensive experiment I bet

Seems an odd choice, putting reactors on the ring of fire. But we got em in california, also on the ring of fire.

Who knows about algal biodiesel. One hears this claim and that claim. But one sees no appreciable stream of algal biodeisel flowing.

Same with cellulosic ethanol.

$30 a barrel sounds real nice. Seems that is it were true, at $100 oil, somebody would be building some algal biodiesel plants.

I'm not holding my breath. Our energy supply system is crazy, and we humans have been fucking up on energy pretty consistently.

Three years ago we had an energy shock that should have started a real self-examination - but we did nothing but heave a sigh of relief when an economic collapse temporarily dropped the price of oil.

So here we are again, not really one step further down the road, except our economy lost trillions which it might have spent on developing alternatives to fossil carbons.
