US Navy aims to make jetfuel from seawater uranium

Extra eco-friendly nuclear.

I suggest harnessing the energy from detonating nuclear weapons to make fuel. Don't think of it as inefficient so much as leading to high employment. Clean-up, containment, medical...

And, though it uses nuclear power, you're actually reducing the # of nuclear weapons. The employment is thus in a "green" industry. Win/win.

I tried out this idea on some environmentalist friends and they were speechless. From wonder and amazement, I assume.
