[Texascavers] fusion energy

2007-10-30 Thread Mixon Bill
Want fusion energy? Take one of those hollowed out salt domes and  
drop an H-bomb in every so often. Pump in water and take out steam.  
Unfortunately, the steam will be radioactive and contain all those  
nice things that fission bombs produce, because nobody knows how to  
set off an H-bomb without using a fission bomb. (Or if they do, it's  
a big secret.) Also, H-bombs contain tritium, which is hard to  
obtain. It's mainly made in certain types of fission reactors.

How would solar energy fare? Would covering 10% of the earth's surface with 25% 
efficiency solar panels be enough?
