High Temperature Superconductors have been in commercial use for some years now.

Not only are they in commercial use but there are entire companies built around commercial HTSC manufacturing. One such is American Superconductor(AMSC):

… and a sample product.

“A superconductor that could run reliably at the temperature of liquid Nitrogen would be a real game changer…”

“would be”…? Yes, it was a real game changer back in 1986 . High-Temperature Superconductors (HTSCs) working in liquid nitrogen are a part of everyday life… the mystery has been to explain exactly how they work and your linked article is [...]

Errr… what? Sorry, truly sorry, but not so fast on the jubilee. The Japanese government will begin accepting restart applications this month, which are of course already guaranteed to be approved by the bureaucracy .. and there’s going to be a lot of those applications. The way things are going Japan will have a dozen operating [...]

Errr… no. Though well meant, what you imply falls into the category of rumor and misinformation… did you read the FAQ at the site ? It’s a small research reactor that cannot melt down and uses very little fuel and generates very small amounts of waste. This isn’t GE- or TEPCO-style propaganda… this is the inevitable result [...]

Nice job with the article. But you all need not worry because fusion is coming… like it or not… and our owners are quietly seeing to it that only the dirtiest, most expensive and most proliferation-prone types of fusion available will be considered before the public eye. But at least that’s a change from the [...]

“Everyone kept saying that Fukushima was the new normal so we adjusted our equipment accordingly.”

“Speaking of Fukushima, the latest idea is to fill the buildings with grout to plug the groundwater leaks they can’t find.”

… is this supposed to be after they create a barrier of deep-frozen earth around the buildings?

“Here’s a reputable study…”

Errr… the study itself hasn’t existed long enough to have much of a reputation outside of the peer review group :)

“… that says global warming is not caused by CO2, but by CFC’s. He achieves a nearly perfect correlation between CFC’s and global temperature without Co2.”

… the researcher, however, does have a history [...]

re radscrap: the term to watch out for is “clearance.” The point at which structural materials are officially considered to be no longer legally radioactive and safe for release. A rather chancy notion even given respectable regulatory oversight and a strict materials control regime… hey, you, stop laughing! … and of course there’s been a [...]

Once the silex tech gets out, and it will, then the choices will be either just about the stupidest iteration of imperial expansion to date or near-universal bomb capability.

Our owners: playing the game of “Who’s Got The Bomb?” to great effect and considerable profit since 1945…

My last bit there was just snark about the care and attention our owners lavish on transport safety concerns. Re the hex on trucks: from a practical viewpoint the radiation is stopped by the cylinders and the stuff is stable while inside the cylinders… … but should something happen to the cylinders then it would [...]

Perfect :)

“I am not sure if this is necessarily dangerous because I am not a chemist, but I try to either get ahead or behind them”

The internationally standardized Material Safety Data Sheet on most any given compound can give you quick and relevant info. The stuff is highly toxic, corrosive, tends to sublimate into a vapor given [...]

… so yet once again the elites have privatized the profits and socialized the gifts that keep on giving while they bail.

Sorry, but this is just more GOP vs Dem drivel added to the recent rash of such… none of which makes Obama any less a tool of the uber-elites.
