This simply doesn't mean diddly poo, here in the US.
Frankly, Jesus could walk down from heaven and give us the plans for a 100% efficiency power plant that uses anti-matter/matter reactions to produce tons of energy, and our energy "officials" and the big oil companies would spit in his/her face.
The overwhelming costs that are associated with the construction of one of these plants and, no doubt, the high maintence costs more or less guarantee that no power company in North America will even consider building one.
Why should they? They have their fossil fuel infrastructure in place and they'll be damned if they have to spend one red cent to build anything else. |
