Huw, shoot me an email with your email address, okay? You can email me from my book’s website (at “Contact the author” on the left), at prescriptionfortheplanet.com. Sorry it’s been such a hassle for you.

Huw Jones asks,

Can you ask Tom Blees ... if there is any mention (or if he knows ) of any way in which air transport could be powered using Boron?

Answered in Open Thread 5.

TerjeP,

Best of luck!

Pity the Lib Dems in Britain didn’t think likewise.

Can you ask Tom Blees two questions for me please?

1.) Where the hell can I get a copy of his book here in the UK? I’ve tried all the high street book sellers and ordering from my library, but no avail. I’d happily send him the money personally, in return for a copy.

2.) I haven’t read PftP for reasons explained about, but I’m wondering if there is any mention (or if he knows ) of any way in which air transport could be powered using Boron?

Thanks.

OT – I’m standing in the seat of Bennelong as a candidate for the Liberal Democrats (LDP). I’d appreciate your vote if any of you live in the area. The Liberal Democrats are the only political party contesting this election that has a policy in support of Nuclear Power.

Color me envious! I bet you will have plenty of interesting insights to share when you get back.

On a much lower key I am planning visits next month to my power company’s thermal solar and photo-voltaic projects that cover 18,000 acres. If I get lucky I may talk my way into a visit to one of their two nukes.

You can learn more about Idaho National Laboratory’s energy projects at the lab’s facebook site. Lots of interesting videos there. http://www.facebook.com/idahonationallaboratory

It’s a shame you won’t be stopping by Argonne National Lab while you’re in Chicago, where much of the historical and ongoing US fast reactor design work occurred.

Be sure to try some Chicago-style pizza while you’re in the area and have a great trip.

Sounds like a fantastic trip Barry, I’m jealous! I hope you’ll give us a report on BNC after you return. I’d like to hear a first-hand view about what the IFR facility was like.
