The word "tension" in the headline, means they are worried about whether or not this "massive project" can be successfully completed. Good green H development if they can get it going. Hopefully it does not put Alan out of business.

Just forbidding the sale of overweigjht over motorized cars (SUV's) would save x times more CO2...

Agree, but here in the US mommy wants her gas guzzling SUV, and daddy his "big badass" pick-up truck. The newer trucks are so big, they don't fit into our already supersized (by European standards) parking spot. Ridiculous. I drive a 4 cyl Camry, and average 38mpg.

yes suv are depressing.

Gas guzzling and dangerous, to both the driver and other cars. See:
Sometime I think building a high magnetic field with high current and colliding particles may not be the best way using a steel case if the particles are using the case to store independently charged zones.pushing nuclear collisions energy need someplace to go.

Why vehicles like the Cybertruck and Rivian's automotive line up have significant potencial, trucks, SUVs and crossovers. I mean if someone had a versatile vehicle that was a hybrid electric set up with a higher gen energy source it would dominate the market. A zero emissions SUV that has a powercell swapped out once a year. Even better a no compromise truck, 4w electric drivetrain, that only needs a couple handfuls of water and fuel granules to drive for a month. Then even if the reactor swapping wasn't available you could drive. Hefty high performance vehicles (within reason) can make sense with higher energy densities.

Look at my face - do I look worried?
BTW- here's some USP's for my hydrogen plant...
Here is a project to convert solar and other renewable energy into ammonia so it can be transported and used to produce hydrogen for transportation.

Just heard about this fission company yesterday, Kairos Power. Molten salts/metal coolants to me are another tech that improves high energy extraction from a dense source. Doesn't matter if it's concentrated solar, fission or exotic deep chemistry.
That ushers me to another point. When ones of my persuasion talk often about exotic chemistry some may think it is at the expense of advanced nuclear power, but I've always been a fan of fission MSR concepts like this. If you can have fission high grade thermal power driving heat intensive chemical proccesses... you could use MSR powered pico-chemical "waste" recyclers. A similar concept to using reactors to extract hydrogen from water, just that this moment we appreciate the fission density. I merely advocate for the functional replacement of conventional fossil fuels, renewables besides solar, fuel cells and large batteries with something LENR-like. This coolant type I think works synergistically with Triso fuel pellets.
Kairos are certainly getting a lot of funding (and spending it) - not like the usual start-up.
"This facility, which is Kairos Power’s third location in the US (in addition to Alameda, California, and Charlotte, North Carolina), is expected to bring nearly 70 new jobs by the end of 2024, with an average annual salary of over $100,000."

I wonder why people don't start advanced fission and fund exotic dense matter reaction companies at the same moment. A company like this could have a satellite symbiotic research program with this stuff. Thorium (double purpose) can be exploited... MSRs AND hydrogen plasma reactors would be an interesting stable set up for an energy company. Future proof investment and diversification, distributed mobile micro grid candles and centralised buried SMRs. The only reason I'm posting this idea is I may forget it if I don't, and people who know better can give constructive criticism too 😂. Though those on this site like us would probably feel like that is redundant and hydrogen/metal plasma reactors are more than enough..

Advanced fission = advanced radioactive waste ??? Do you want the crap really as close as possible to your home??

There is a possibility that short range electromagnetic bonds between protons deuterons and the unstable actinides nuclei could stabilise them or accelerate the decay proccess. But you are right the way to avoid that type of waste is to stick to exothermic reactions that give you usable waste! If I am wrong someone with experimental experience can inform the forum. This is why I like pico chemistry first and fission MSRs second, they may have symbiotic modes if we need higher energy density for any reason. They're both theoretically possible with the accepted physics.

I am partial to hydrogen, mixed gas, and metal plasma systems that stay in the picocluster transformation's soft x-ray regime!

There is a possibilty that protons inside zircons cause heating in magmas
zircons contain high concentrations of uranium/thorium and metastable hafnium and ytterbium with low eV magnetic states
however it is complete speculation whether the excess heating is fusion or fission or exists at all..
at any rate magma is not 'close to your home'

Interesting, will skim. I was thinking the same thing we can do with Iron, Nickel and Palladium reacted with oxygen.. I mean hydrogen.. In Mills reactions the dense hydrogen becomes it's own oxidizer binding in twos and fours. If metals we now throwaway as mining/industrial waste are reactive with hydrogen producing energy, that's cool stuff.
