    I heard that the ancient Romans saved urine for the laundry workers to use. Urine left out turns to ammonia after a few days.

    You can also use urine to make barbiturates. The first ones were made from Barbara’s urine…

    The source for the radioactive element to make the reactor is smoke detectors…

    Unfortunate NOBODY has created FUSION reactors.AND it would be a viable energy source. Paranoid people react negatively to the word nuclear, without having all (any) of the facts. Check out nuclear fusion (not fission).

    Fusion reactors have been getting a lot of press recently because they offer some major advantages over other power sources. They will use abundant sources of fuel, they will not leak radiation above normal background levels and they will produce less radioactive waste than current fission reactors.

    Nobody has put the technology into practice yet, but working reactors aren’t actually that far off. Fusion reactors are now in experimental stages at several laboratories in the United States and around the world.
