GreyFlcn: Reponse to Sandia Applying Solar Thermochemical Hydrogen Technology to Recycling CO2 to Liquid Fuels.

I knew it.

H2Car with solar panels sounded extremely like what they were *really* wanting was to power it with nukes.

Depsite the fact that it would require 2.5x the electricity than what the entire rest of the United States grid gets. So 3.5x total. Or an 8x increase in the ammount of nuclear power plants in the US. And this is all assuming a high level of efficiency. So it could be much more.

Nuclear power is magical.
So magical that it requires more subsidies than fossil fuels and renewables combined, and still has price problems.

56% of all federal subsidies since 1948-2003 were spent on Nukes. Nearly double what fossilfuels+renewables got.

More yearly federal R&D dollars are spent on Nukes than the entire rest of the electricity sector.

They want 7x the subsidized loan guaruntees than what the entire rest of the electricity sector gets.
And for some reason they are putting ^that^ legistlation into the 'Farm Bill'.

Nuclear Power is just too expensive.
(Especially if you chalk up this one as an overhead cost of doing Nuclear)
