Hi Kurt, Duane,

Are we going to make Earth look like Mars (no more water) by using Hydrogen from water cracking as a "fuel", or are we going to use the better way? 

Considering that burning hydrogen fuel results in water emissions (2H2 + O2 => H2O), this seems like a somewhat stupid conjecture.

Still, using nuclear energy isn't a bad idea.  Lots of people get their worries going over dealing with spent nuclear fuels.

Did the Soviets "steal" nuclear secrets from the USA?

Who is Bob Dratch?  It seems he does not realize how many tons of spent nuclear fuel would be required to extract enough "weapons grade plutonium" out of to make even one bomb.

Conventional reactors based on that really yucky substance, "uranium" make plutonium as a waste substance.

That probably isn't the most scientifically stated, but observant statement that I've ever read.

It will be very interesting if Bob Dratch really has a product (or licenses) available anytime soon.  This would be a great change to energy supplies if it does truly work out this simply.

Regards,

SKB

  Hi folkes,

  This popped up on another list I'm on. Admittedly it's full of peculiar 
  people with peculiar postings at present--- but

  http://bob-dratch.org/greenatoms.htm<http://bob-dratch.org/greenatoms.htm>

  I'm not really knowledgeable enough to evaluate this fully, but if it's 
  feasible, it sounds like a good source of heat energy, for all sorts of 
  power generation and for pyrolysis as well, and *NO* carbon foot print.

  Heat biomass with carbonles heat and you can have charcoal plus the 
  driven off gases and tars, to use as fuel and feedstock for all sorts of 
  processes that presently use oil.

  And yes, I know it's spam, but what if-------

  regards,

  Kurt
