I may be wrong but I thought that conventional power generation relied on the expansion of high pressure steam through turbines. High temperatures are only the means for generating the high pressures required efficient power generation.Yeah, but as at least a half-dozen people have pointed out to me, "cold" means anything less than the temperature of the sun.
That doesn't make me a believer in this cold fusion stuff. If the scientists want to continue to play around with their test tubes, that's fine with me. I have more interest in the nukes that can generate 1000 MW of electricity RIGHT NOW anyway.
Yeah, but 1000 degree Celsius steam at atmospheric pressure would not be efficient in generating power from turbines. On the other hand, 110 degree Celsius at 1000 psig would highly efficient.
