The proton21 crowd may have found alternative clean nuclear reactions, capable of using essentially any matter as fuel (probably only metals at present). http://www.proton21.com.ua/index_en.html Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation, Cooperation provides the means.
