It’s been tried and failed;

True, but it looks like official government research ended almost 50 years ago.

Given the advances in submarine and ship reactors it seems plausible that the technology could work but the cost would be nuts.

since most of the world is now black and brown haired perhaps we need to come up with the counterpart to the dumb blond.

Perhaps the stupid brunette.

".... Perhaps the stupid brunette...."

Brilliant! AO-C, the real life role model for the stupid brunette.

Let the stupid brunette jokes begin.

Thanks.

No, they would use batteries, which, as you probably know, generate electricity out of thin air (at least that is what a lot of these morons think - an electrical outlet is a siphon to some magic energy source, not some smoke belching coal fired plant)...batteries are the new energy source! HA~

A combination of gorilla glue and duct tape.

Funny thing is, they might say this is the answer. But it’s counter productive to alleviating carbon waste. And this is still theory as it is non-existing under experimentation. But they’ll say it anyway.
