Further research now scares me:
Storms is not an antiestablishment pseudoscientist pursuing a
crackpot theory. For 34 years he was part of the establishment
himself, employed at Los Alamos on projects such as a nuclear motor
for space vehicles. Subsequently he testified before a congressional
subcommittee considering the future of fusion. He believes you don't
need millions of degrees or billions of dollars to fuse atomic nuclei
and yield energy. "You can stimulate nuclear reactions at room
temperature," he says, in his genial, matter-of-fact style. "I am
absolutely certain that the phenomenon is real. It is quite
extraordinary, and if it can be developed, it will have profound
effects on society."
That's an understatement. If low-temperature fusion does exist and
can be perfected, power generation could be decentralized. Each home
could heat itself and produce its own electricity, probably using a
form of water as fuel. Even automobiles might be cold fusion powered.
Massive generators and ugly power lines could be eliminated, along
with imported oil and our contribution to the greenhouse effect.
Moreover, according to some experimental data, low-temperature fusion
doesn't create significant hazardous radiation or radioactive waste.
Most scientists laugh at these claims. "It's pathological science,"
says physicist Douglas Morrison, formerly employed by CERN in
Geneva. "The results are impossible."
It seems the first nuclear powered KLR is no more!!!!
