    The source for this article is a report by PLoS One and the story is from Scientific American.

    In the right hands this would be a very efficient source of power though.

    But that's what I worry about. Sometimes I don't even trust our government! Hahaha

    Did you know that radioactive waste material can be recycled?

    The process was developed here in the USA. However, anti-nuclear activist President Carter banned its use here in the USA, including using it on the radioactive waste now being stored around our country.

    Instead of using the process to eliminate our problem, it was given to France. France now has a safe nuclear program that provides about 75+% of the entire country's electricity use. About 17% of their entire country’s electricity comes from recycled radioactive material.

    Wait, isn't skunkworks developing their space laser fusion thingy still? Once the military has it exclusively for 20 years or so, we can go ahead and end world suffering.
