Don't talk to me about being ignorant. Your talk about pretending to be educated while really being ignorant is quite similar to the propoganda of the Ku Klux Klan. (I'm not being sarcastic. Go to their website if you don't believe me). <br /> <br />Aside from that, what exactly are you trying to prove? That there could be a resurgance of steam power with the help of nuclear power if only people weren't so ignorant and weren't so scared? I like many others in this forum, would jump for joy if someone told me steam would be back. But the fact is, that it won't be. Steam railroading is a part of history in the US: not the present or the future. <br /> <br />Sure, it might be possible to do everything you say, and for argument's sake, let's say it HAS been done. Where doesn that get us? Nowhere. A steam locomotive's maintance costs, regardless of what is fueling it or powering it, are too high to make it a feasible part of railroading in the US again. It's just not realistic. There are plenty of other means of power which have much more positive economical benefits without any of the risks associated with nuclear power. Probably the best example is so-called biodiesel. It's a fuel that can be burned in any diesel engine without modification (except to rubber components which can be corroded by the fuel). It's produced from soybeans and is a completely renewable fuel sorce. And there are no nasty pollutants. The exhaust is about as harmful as sugar water. Do some web surfing and check it out, there's some interesting information on it out there. And stop by the KKK site while you're at it.
