Cold fusion does not require an infrastructure. Worldwide energy production with cold fusion would consume 6,200 tons of heavy water, which can be installed in the motors and engines at the time of manufacture, and replaced every few years, similar to the way battery acid is put into cars. The average automobile would consume about 1 gram of fuel per year.<br /><br />Cold fusion would require that automobile plants and other facilities be rebuild. They are rebuilt every 10 or 20 years anyway.<br /><br />For more information on cold fusion, please see:<br /><br />http://lenr-canr.org/Jed Rothwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179077151947615762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471993488623327927.post-82535484542140869242011-03-07T11:33:40.013+00:002011-03-07T11:33:40.013+00:00That's fine for us if we take a short-term vie...<i><br />That's fine for us if we take a short-term view, but it's a huge blow to those people who are behind us on the development curve.</i><br /><br />Plenty of those are never going to catch up.

Its all about the production rates, or how quickly you can get it out of the ground. And world production peaked in 2005, so its already here.<br /><br />Get 2 bottles of wine. The first take the top off and pour yourself a glass. Filled the glass in seconds. With the second bottle of wine put a pin hole in the top and now pour yourself another glass of wine. It will take a week to fill the glass this time.<br /><br />Or to put it another way 60 years ago any dumbass could drill a hole in the desert and oil came gushing out. With tar sands you have to strip mine the oily sand, then steam clean the oil out and put the clean sand back into the hole. <br /><br />But feel free to bury your head in the sand, everyone else has. I'm sure you will enjoy tilling the fields with the bunny huggers in 20 years time. I'm really going to enjoy taking the piss out the global warmists in 20 years time.billnoreply@blogger.com
