In theory we could feed everyone by spending twice the effort it's worth, cultivating deserts, hydrophonics.... etc. Or we could trim the...
Only 1 reason: The Saudis. The Kuwaiti royal family are cousins to the Saudi Royal family. Imagine what it would be like if Sadam invaded...
What we need is solar + hydrogen. Converting excess electricity (when the Sun is shining, but nobody feels like switching on the lights) into...
Naturally occurring Uranium has a 0.72% concentration of U-235 in it already, so it appears you are both right. Billv is right that there is no...
