13:14:16 From  Art Hunter  to  Everyone:
	Is there a proof-of-concept demonstration project underway to verify the commercial viability of this 
technology?  If yes, is there an Internet link with details?

13:17:01 From  Jon Legg  to  Everyone:
	I have a question regarding scale, vis-à-vis two other considerations:
	
	Security and distance of power transmission.
	
	Providing security for a large nuclear station may be easier on a ratio of cost to power input basis. Is 
this true?  Handling so-called wasted and depleted uranium has a number of advantages, but it also involves constant 
security issues. How does this balance work itself out?
	
	Large reactors involves transmitting ultra-high voltage electricity over long distances, which could be 
seen as more efficient, when compared to many more nodes of transmission over shorter distances.

13:44:39 From  Barry Bruce  to  Everyone:
	This is great--how appropriate is it for the rest of the world?  Also, just replacing fossils fuel 
probably isn’t enough to stem climate change--population growth and agriculture are hugely important in 
themselves.

14:14:00 From  Bill Tyson  to  Everyone:
	What about thorium as a fuel?

14:20:55 From  Ted Manning  to  Everyone:
	Is nuclear so politicized that rational assessment of choices is impossible?

14:21:08 From  Bob Walker  to  Everyone:
	question/comment

14:21:58 From  Jean Dougherty  to  Everyone:
	How advanced is the development and deployment of these reactors?

14:27:04 From  John Meyer  to  Everyone:
	Question:  How much heat does one of these reactors produce for every kW hour of electrical energy.  
Cost / kWh?

14:29:03 From  Thorhaug Anitra  to  Everyone:
	Which nations have the resources to do this besides Russia, Canada, USA, and a few other nuclear rich 
nations. The question of using geo-thermal is not generally considered in national energy for many nations 
except for New Zealand and Iceland. Do you understand why? 

14:40:58 From  Barry Bruce  to  Everyone:
	Is this more “doable” than fusion technology?

15:00:04 From  John Meyer  to  Everyone:
	It seems to me that very special conditions are required to produce electricity from geothermal.  
Iceland is sitting on a bubble of magma and they have to be very careful with how much heat they take out.  
I had a tour of the facility 30 km east of Reykjavik and most areas the heat gain is 1 degree for every 100 m of 
depth and you need 300 degrees C at least to turn a turbine.
