This has a sphere manufactured from water ice crystal's chance in a very hot, fiery environment of ever being commercially implemented.

. A 250 MW unit weighing about 500 lbs. (227 kg) would be small and light enough to drop under the hood of a car… Or in a small shed in the back yard?
If is being considered for vehicle use, it must be affordable.
But that would mean the average household would be independent of the power grid.
Prog government types would never let that happen on a universal scale.
Gotta keep the peons dependent.

Are You Ready For: The Thorium-Laser-Steam-Turbine Electric Powertrain? Sure, sharks with lasers on their heads aren't doing it for me.

250MW!
Good grief, sounds more like instead of plugging your car in to charge, the entire city plugs in to your car for their power -

That’s over 335,000 horsepower. I want one!

Government always finds a way of taxing everything.
You own your home, but, government will tax it forever.
You own your car? But you get taxed when you buy it and when you sell it, and when you pay for its fuel.
Thorium powered vehicles, yep!, government will tax it forever, even if you bought it hundreds of years ago.

There was also uranium and iron in shallow sedimentary strata in Florida, as well as locations around the Gulf of Mexico.
Hmmm...
I wonder what that may point to in the past...?

Doble is where it’s at.
Someone long should’ve been working on that system to make steam more viable for every-day usage. Steam is extremely powerful. Still powers most large things today - especially the “power grid”.

A quick solution that might ease the transition from internal combustion engines would be to use the energy to separate hydrogen from water and use the hydrogen in combustion engines until we don’t need them anymore.

No oil, no emissions – nothing
Biden keeps talking about cars with gas engines but never talks about city street cars in large cities like they had in the 30’ to the 60’s.
Here in LA they bitch like hell when ever somebody wants to install one between the freeways but want another lane.

That’s ridiculous. It takes more power to seperate it than you get back out.
