These public statements were meant to be less that five minutes and were allotted on a first come, first serve basis. So bright and early […]
I was recently invited to write an article for “Machine Design” magazine, and with the help of editor Stephen Mraz, this is what I submitted: Thorium, a Readily Available and Slightly Radioactive Mineral, Could Provide the World with Safer, Clean Energy Since I was writing for engineers, I let it get a little more technical, […]
