Is it fair for the Pentagon to take priority over all new technology - especially one that would benefit our environment so dramatically? We tried to ask them, but of course they had "no comment".
It is a sad day in America when our best and brightest inventors are muzzled and their incredible gadgets reserved only for some future war that may or may not take place. Humanitarian and Environmental needs & benefits should trump military planning in my humble opinion. If you agree with me, send a copy of this article and say so in a letter to your Congressman and Senator.

After learning that the new Thorium plasma batteries are being used by the U.S. Navy in their super long range Mark 48 Torpedoes, I am now guessing they will be used in the latest stealth satellites since no solar panels would be required and military surveillance and telecom satellites could even remain in geosynchronous orbit on the dark side of the Earth. If combined with new composite technologies these satellites would be undetectable to radar and perhaps even infrared detection since the minimal heat signature would be negated by space temps. For those not familiar with this new green battery "acquired" by the military and lives longer than people without ever needing a recharge, you can read more here at these links
