Title: Fossil fuel electricity with no pollution?
Post by: Ksheed on Apr 05, 2016, 12:42

Not nuclear news but relevant to the energy industry. While I primarily consider a "good Vox article" to be an oxymoron, this one is interesting.

   Sounded a little like fossil's "Cold Fusion" but they are putting their money where there mouth is and the technology as explained in the links sounds pretty cool. It's couple years to proof of concept in it's prototype but could be a game changer.

Possible game changer. Still, as the article stated, at some point you would have more CO2 "captured" then you know what to do with.
