Are you saying that waste and proliferation are just politics?

Yes but you then have radio active waste to deal with and the more nuclear plants in the world the more likely some one will have access to weapons grade material. P.S. did you look at my post?

If you want to solve the energy crisis you need to redefine the problem. As I see the issues the problem is how to create a system for creating and delivering enough energy for the whole world( in other words not just for my country). Once you have enough energy(electricity) technology will...

Sorry I'm not as good at this stuff as some of you people are. The numbers I'm using are P=1000MW n=90% p=1.03*1000 h=100m i=? the second formula is for pressure and I don't know if that's needed?

P=n*p*g*h*i "Help" This is the power equation for a hydro turbine. P=power n=turbine efficiency p=density of watter (kg/m[SIZE="1"]3) g=acceleration of gravity (9.81m/s[SIZE="1"]2) h=head(m) i= flow rate (m[SIZE="1"]3/s) What I want to know is how to change this for running a turbine...

Of course you can switch back and forth. The question is can you do this at will? Again the answer is of course if you learn how.

I like the way you think. I have a similar plan, but it works with the transportation problem

Thanks for the info. When I've done some math I'll post more.

Dose anyone know what the max output of a large hydro generator at full capacity
