Mecky Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Nuclear Marine Propulsion is the way to go. It works well for the Navy. Isn't nuclear power generated from steam, which means burning fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 And how do you make the heat in the first place? By crashing planets and asteroids together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 A few years ago I saw a photo of a large cargo ship that was fitted with experimental computer controlled sails for reducing the fuel consumption, but have not heard of since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFlight Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 And how do you make the heat in the first place? A natural by-product of the natural nuclear decomposition of radioactive isotopes. Nuclear is natural, nuclear is green. etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
