I became a full professor in my early thirties but decided to move on from academia and my involvement in the energy fields is in the past 5 - 6 years.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />ChrisProfessor Chris Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060542089215379056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-36544243529367215842011-04-01T05:28:02.336+01:002011-04-01T05:28:02.336+01:00Oh, by the way, I support Thorium power, though I ...Oh, by the way, I support Thorium power, though I think we've discussed it before. I have a blog on my list called "Energy from Thorium". <br /><br />Sorry, if my post was off-topic to this thread, but I didn't really know where to put it and I wanted you to see it. So this post is partly to make up for that. See, now you have an on-topic post on your thread :)<br /><br />ClarenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-67283444998249306212011-04-01T05:21:43.585+01:002011-04-01T05:21:43.585+01:00Chris:

I am glad this thing will soon be producing a small amount of power thanks to Tata, that should give us some "real world" data. I'll try to find some numbers for you in the next day or two based on preliminary releases.<br /><br />Goodnight,<br /><br />ClarenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-64369753004125901142011-03-31T11:59:56.658+01:002011-03-31T11:59:56.658+01:00Hi Clarence,

It's interesting, and that he has got it working using cobalt and nickel.<br /><br />There are indeed problems environmentally and otherwise of extracting these metals in the enormous quantities needed to make a hole in the energy demand wall that is coming our way. It doesn't immediately get round the peak oil problem - I wish people would understand this.<br /><br />I'd need to see some detailed numbers to gauge how good this is really rather than the hype. I am presuming that bucket of water is full of these "leaves" not just one?<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />ChrisProfessor Chris Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060542089215379056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-65269072301915192862011-03-30T01:07:51.186+01:002011-03-30T01:07:51.186+01:00Seems Mr. Nocera's been busy lately:
