Innovation is Key
I’m just waiting for Big Environment to put the kibosh on this effort: A small New Mexico startup company, Hyperion Power Generation, has plans to put small, tamper-proof, self-regulating nuclear reactors in people’s backyards…well, ok, maybe just somewhere in your local town of 10 to 20 thousand homes. The goal is to provide 10¢ per kilowatt-hour energy anywhere in the world, according to Hyperion’s CEO. At an estimated $25 Million per unit, capable of powering 20,000 average homes for 7-10 years, it starts becoming affordable. The reactors are installed underground and as they near the end of their operational window of 7-10 years, they are dug up and hauled back to a factory to be refueled. These reactors are based on clean, safe technology that is the same as the reactors at most American universities. Other companies are working on similar approaches. Read here or here for more.
This is the kind of innovation that will improve America and the world. Hopefully, the government and special interests groups won’t get in the way.
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
