#2 I just hope the powers that be and US nuclear industry can get their heads out of their posteriors. These really are a better way to go and will be much cheaper and safer in all respects.

The article raises some straw men as far as proliferation goes. If a government or entity that can obtain any kind of reactor wants to divert material they will find a way regardless of the reactor type or means of tracking material.

At the rate we are going we will be using liquified coal to run things. There is little or no real alternate energy being pursued in the US.
