- Nuclear recycling--a thing of the past?
- Nuclear recycling--a thing of the past?Nuclear power is our ONLY long-term source of powerWhen it comes down to it that is reasonably 'inexhaustible' and 'able to meet our energy demands'.Sure, we should be cutting down or trying to cut down on the amount of energy that we are using.... but...

- Biofuel or bunk?Biofuels. Bunk?Hard to say whether they are bunk or not. There are at least as many energy/cost models of biofuel production/distribution as there are consultancies/universities with departments to study them. What is clear though is that there needs to be a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency in the...

- Sustainable nuclear reactors
- Dutch researchers at the Delft University of Technology are working on Generation IV nuclear reactor designs. These future Gas Cooled Fast Reactors GFR should produce more new fissile materials than the ones consumed by the reactors. They will use helium as coolant at high temperature and should bring us sustainable...
