Teleportation of Energy Is Possible

This is the kind of discovery that takes a while to percolate before useful technologies come from it. The implications of teleporting information and/or energy are enormous. Imagine living on Mars with all the connectivity we enjoy in one of Earth's major cities.

Physicists Prove Teleportation of Energy Is Possible | Popular Science
"Over five years ago, scientists succeeded in teleporting information. Unfortunately, the advance failed to bring us any closer to the Star Trek future we all dream of. Now, researchers in Japan have used the same principles to prove that energy can be teleported in the same fashion as information. Rather than just hastening the dawn of quantum computing, this development could lead to practical, significant changes in energy distribution."

Nuclear vs. Coal waste by the numbers

This blog has lots of good information about Nuclear Power. One clear advantage of nuclear power is that it doesn't produce much waste. The waste that is produced can mostly be reprocessed into more fuel. Storing nuclear waste until we can learn how to better use it or dispose of it takes far less of our land than disposing of the waste from a typical coal power plant.

An Upchurch Chrestomathy: 6/7/09 - 6/14/09:
"Nuclear power produces about 1 ounce of nuclear waste per person per year with no fuel reprocessing. The bottom line here is that for each pound of nuclear waste we produce, we could be preventing the release of 322,000 pounds of carbon dioxide! The United States doesn’t do any recycling of spent nuclear fuel. 95% of the spent fuel is Uranium or Plutonium that can be recycled and used for more fuel. France uses partial fuel reprocessing and only produces about 3/10ths of an ounce of waste per person.
. . .
What do you think is the real waste disposal problem: 1 oz of nuclear waste or 11 tons of carbon dioxide?"
