Fission reactors. Not fusion. The cost of building Hinckley C is £20 billion. And then consider that its waste will need storing for a million years. Long term underground. But then that needs to be the size of manchester 300 m or more below ground. Massive technological undertaking that no society on earth has yet go to grips with. there are plans, and some are close, but none have been successfully implemented. The Germans are scrapping nuclear power. The Chinese are embracing it. Different nations have different policies. UAE probably like all emerging nations is trying to secure minds and develop its human potential. Smart move, but for me, fission technology is flawed. The cost of making fission nuclear power work are enormous because no one considers the long term problem of waste storage.
Instead of putting it deep in the ground with the growth of commercial space travel could we simply not float it off into deep space? I suppose the ramifications of a rocket exploding on the launch pad or in the atmosphere laiden with spent nuclear waste wouldn’t make it feasible.

There wouldn't be much of an atmosphere either.Wouldn't we need somebody to play against?
Deep underground or alternatively there is a possibility of sticking the long term waste back in a reactor, turning into more reactive waste but waste that has a shorter half life and hence is easier to manage. Bury it under Old Trafford.Instead of putting it deep in the ground with the growth of commercial space travel could we simply not float it off into deep space?

I think when the 1st rocket accidently explodes in the atmosphere/Ionosphere spreading radioactive material around the globe, that it'll be decided that it's probably not the best idea for disposal.Instead of putting it deep in the ground with the growth of commercial space travel could we simply not float it off into deep space?

Get a space elevator working, then maybe that's the safest way of getting stuff from surface to space, but that'll be nigh on impossible - even if technology makes it happen, coz any nation who isn't in control of it, will see that it's the end of them as a nation.

Beer on tap and busty barmaids. A small room at the back so the little lady can do her cooking, washing and ironing.Every new house built should have solar panels Tesla batteries and a mini wind farm on their roofs
I'll get my coat.............

Think solar panels should be the norm like having smoke detectors are now but wasn’t years ago

Some of his technical points are wrong but I completely agree with his last sentence.Calling @andyhinch to the thread.
