[p2p-research] Mini nuclear plants to power 20,000 homes

[Chris Watkins]

I'm with Kevin on this one - I'm skeptical about fission, especially from a
safety and environmental impact perspective. Better to put the $ and effort
into renewable energy. With work now being done on printable solar cells, we
could be seeing cheap solar very soon (Vinay Gupta is convinced it's
basically here now, about to be revealed).

If tt's OSE, it will surely be P2P.

Solar thermal is I think the most competitive renewable option in most sunny
areas,* in terms of what you can buy and build right now. (depends on local
wind and geothermal, of course).
