Nuclear Battery

Check out this cool nuclear reactor, this opens up a world of opportunity and not just with electricity. Just about anything made of carbon can be converted to hydrocarbons with enough energy inputs, coal liquefaction is a prime candidate and it can be done cheaply and cleanly if the coal isn’t also burned to provide the heat to power the process. Oil from deep wells that is currently uneconomical to extract, due to the tremendous amount of energy required to lift it from extreme depths will now make sense. This is a big thing.
