would love to see some alternative energy source come out to replace our current dependence upon fossil fuels. Breakthroughs can happen at any time and aren’t always predictable. Let’s hope it happens so we have a huge burst in civilization’s growth!

We had it, nuclear power, and we pi$$ed it away. I guess if you are an “alchemist,” who thinks some how a way can be found to turn $hit into Gold, there may be a “breakthrough” on the horizon for you. But the reality is that there is nothing on the horizon except nuclear power, so get prepared for a cold, dark world in succeeding generations.

China will have power, they are working on Molten Salt Nuclear Reactors and will probably sell us energy fromthem once they perfect it from powerstations built in Mexico...

We could have had this tech as early as the early 70’s but cronyism from G.E. and other “Government Industial Complex” companies involved in the nuclear industy wanted to milk the government for fuel and weapons contracts....

Eisenhower was SPOT ON....

Our descendants will be shivering inthe dark or paying through the nose to china for heat and power....because we were to stuipid to see the long game....
