That guy who asked questions Wrote: Sal, very good concept I think, but I do have one suggestion. Instead of funding nuclear fission why don't we fund more free-energy alternatives. There have been several prototypes of self-sustaining electromagnetic motors capable of producing 40x the energy it consumes. If we mass-produced devices like this it would be a huge benefit to all society because it seems that the places that suffer the most are mostly due to lack of energy and water. I think self-sustaining free-energy is a much better alternative than nuclear energy which has a possible horrific potential, whereas clean free energy has no negative effects.Most of the alternatives are not feasible to the energy requirements we have today, this includes solar panels which are too expensive to build and maintain, currently, but I wouldn't rule that out. Hydro-electric dams have for the most part failed and done a shitload of ecological damage. Wind turbines are too unreliable. Ocean current, IDK enough about.
Fission plants are not limited to uranium, we might very well make thorium power plants as well. India has researched this a lot, since they got a buttload of it.
I also think we should start decentralizing power more. Get people to invest into their own power usage, instead of relying on a grid.
