Nuclear Power?

[MichaelXY]

My only question would be economics. How how much energy would be required to do this?

Not sure about the cost, but here's how you would do it.

Nuclear power is a good alternative. The energy quality is reasonably high and could supply good for every energy consumption. Though the maintenance is very risky and besides the balance in ecological aspects is definitely in great basin of fire. As you wrote astus, expensive though; here comes money matters again--and discipline, regulatory laws must be able to do their intended part.

I agree in a small scale nuclear program but not that of which is being used now...they will not get away with the wastes as a proverb says

"the world belongs to our children we only borrowed it from them"

I've read a recent research it seemed viable it has lesser waste than the nuclear powered one

it runs on a gasoline which turns the turbine

the turbine with the generator provides large amount of electricity

a fraction of the generated power will be used to run again the turbine and so the cycle continous

but the gasoline here is merely a starter and no more

little to no waste
