Raedwulf, please define "defense" for me.

Keef, I was told just today by someone whose information I trust, that it would take 6,000 sq.ft. of solar panels to run a 2,00 sq. ft. house. Even if you cut it down to lights and refrigeration, it would be a tremendous expense both in cash and in energy.

Right now, it takes 1.2 kilowatts to produce 1 kw. of energy using Hydrogen. Nuke power makes the most sense dollar for dollar but, as you said, the waste disposal problem remains.

Wind power is not feasible for a large part of the world, so the only answer seems to me to be for everyone in the world to cut back on their energy usage.

And that's about as probable as Jonah and the Whale.
