Individuals can feel it now, households will register it soon be more sustainable: the so abruptly announced by Chancellor Merkel, yes by geboxte energy revolution – that is, the end of the atom for Germany – is expensive. Even super expensive. Per household, the experts estimate that there will be more current cost of 250 euros per year, more even more. The Merkelsche "Stop nuclear" does not only mean the end for nuclear power in Germany. More alarming: The atomic research as such is to be found on the index. And Germany may one day come to be even more expensive than the shutdown of nuclear power plants. Sun, wind and water, finally, according to experts worldwide, can also, given rapidly and steadily increasing population not satisfy the energy needs alone.
Atomic Research: Because natural gas and coal as well as petroleum "finally" are, the latter is also harmful to the environment, will be continued in many states, the nuclear research, and to do it with the aim to always new and safer forms of energy. Are leaders in these areas, the "New York Times" in a study of their science experts Justin Gillis, the U.S. and China.
Shall elaborate Bill Gates, the second richest man in the world and founder of Microsoft, along with the multi-talented Nathan Myhrvold on a nuclear fission reactors which are 'fed' with today's nuclear waste and in this way produce electricity. Of its assets which are estimated at $ 60 billion Gates has invested hundreds of millions in this project, which would also be in a position to solve the problem of the storage of nuclear waste – they are "burned" just to power "made". For the realization of this project, Gates and Myhrvold founded the company Terra Power. It is led by the energy veteran John Gilleland and currently employs 60 people.
Another revolutionary plan pursued by the U.S. company Lockheed Martin, in their secret research centers was once the U2 spy plane was developed. Here we are working on a new form of nuclear reactors, in which on the basis of hydrogen created heavier elements by which electricity can be generated. Still appears futuristic projects of nuclear expert Kirk Sorensen, who wants to come with his company Flibe Energy in Alabama based on thorium nuclear fusion.
