This wouldn't work in LA because buildings over a certain height are required to have helipads. Mandating a fission nuclear reactor in the basement of all buildings would, however, and would be far less unsightly.

As cool as nuclear may be, it's not renewable.

yes it is, you just fuse the atoms back together after you fission them. ez

Speaking of fission, on the topic of fusion, Lockheed Martin has said they will try to have a prototype fusion power generator by 2017, with goals to begin making them for sale in 2022. That's another thing to pop into Google.


I was pretty skeptical about this until I read this book about Skunkworks: http://www.amazon.com/Skunk-Works-Personal-Memoir-Lockheed/dp/0316743003

It doesn't deal with energy at all, but Skunkworks as an institution has a long heritage of doing the seemingly impossible. Exciting times.
