Yep, and they need to start covering every acre of land in the Midwest farming country with that crap, if they ever hope to power the industry in this country that runs on 3 phase, 480 volts, let alone all the homes and appliances in them at single phase, 240 volts.

It's a pipe dream that many utilities have already said can't be done and if it could, the cost of it and the power produced would be astronomical.
Using those sources as supplemental, to reduce the use of, and emissions from, non-renewable fuels is great, but to think we, and the rest of the world, will ever be emissions free from energy production is just not practical.
We DO need to find a way to conserve the fuels now used as they will come to an end sometime. Nuclear fuel COULD be the best source, but the complications and danger of use are still far too great and I don't see any contingent of our society working on a way to make it safer and less hazardous/deadly to produce energy and store the spent rods anymore.
