Japanese Scientists Create Elastic Water

Great concept! Just wondering…..can it be recycled?

Aaahahaha.

we need elastic money!!!!

It's different from Jello how?

well, both your arguments and very rich lexic are interesting, it seems that you like a lot nueclear power plants, and you said that other kinds of energy are very expensive, but what i think of using energy is that the better way to have it, is when there are not harmful wastes getting it. In my country we don't have such things as powerplants, may be you have like a lot of technology to have those chemical wastes under control, but the thing is that nuclear power plants, such as coal plants, and other industries are still producing chemical wastes, the goal is NOT TO PRODUCE ANY KIND OF WASTES!!
yes, solar power, and also eolic power are very expensive, but those are the only ones that are not producing any waste, such as geothermal energy, that you have also stated before!! in this case, there are not such things as industries profits, as there are in nuclear power plants as in oil and coal plants, in this case, what you have to do is be more concient on the planet you are life developes, and all what gives to you, and mey be to your children also, and start thinking in may be more expensive, but more accesible kinds of energy, in this case, geothermal energy!!!
my neighborhood (i live in Ecuador, a country not as rich as yours in latin america) runs with geothermal energy, each block of houses has has energy by one of this geothermal “things”, i am not to much of a scientist, but the thing is that it has a tube that goes really deep in the ground and take all the heat under our houses and gives as clean and pure energy, without wastes!!! it was not too expensive, and last year we finally finish paying the installation of this devices, there are people that come check it and give maintenance to this things
one thing is clear man, you are also a victim of propaganda and all of those things, may be your energy is cheap, but when you start thinking on what really has expnsive prices, such as your health and environmental dsitruction, you know that cheap things are expensive in long term
NUCLEAR PLANTS SUCK!!!!!
get a job, work hard, invest your money in something cleaner and has nothing to do in making other people richer by using propaganda such as you said!!!

What will they think of next

Hi Chant. I like what you said.

I wish I could capture the essence of my argument for power in such a way to tell you that I really really (really) want cheap and clean power.

“the goal is NOT TO PRODUCE ANY KIND OF WASTES!!” — I totally agree with this.

“NUCLEAR PLANTS SUCK!!!!!” — If I must agree that nuclear plants suck, then I would do so by saying “everything else that can provide as much power sucks worse, or is unavailable with our current understanding of science and manufacturing — the promised technologies continue to elude us. So please, Science, give us more options – but in the mean time, don't do something worse than nuclear, to our planet – which we clearly are.”

Harvesting geothermal energy is fantastic in the places that it's possible. I'm glad to hear you're in such a place. My arguments are not wrong because you have access to geothermal power. If I thought for a moment that it was practical to power all of civilization with the same method, I'd be yelling for it loudly. Iceland is another country which benefits greatly from geothermal energy, and I'm in envy of that. Sadly, over my region, looking downwards will show nothing but cold water and rock.

Another example, if I thought it would be economical to harvest tidal energy with tidal turbines I'd be saying that. Another great concept, but yet another thing that won't get us what we need. There are so many of these concepts which aren't even on the table, options-wise.

The fact is that people in most of the world are not choosing between nuclear and geothermal. They're choosing between nuclear and fossil fuels. Many companies offset as much as they can afford to with wind/solar/other – the government might pay to help them afford it and at the same time demand that they do it – but it's clear that it these alternative options are not a viable solution for all of our power requirements.

Between fossil fuels and nuclear, there should be no doubt which one is cleaner, and why I choose what I do between them. One of these has all of the waste contained, and the other has much of the waste not contained. One puts that which would harm us somewhere where it won't harm us, and the other puts that which would harm us directly into the air we breathe. Nuclear plants make bad stuff which we can take care of, and fossil fuel plants make bad stuff which we cannot and do not take care of. The environment in Ecuador is harmed by coal/gas plants in the United States, but the environment in Ecuador is not harmed by nuclear plants in the United States.

I'm not sure I understand the last comments. I'm educated (engineer) and employed, and I tinker with building things such as solar panels and wind turbines (which I recognize I lose money by doing) — these facts help me make decisions, and why I hold strange and unpopular views like “dead batteries are more of a problem for us than nuclear waste.”

Salud,

This is wonderful Idea !

Excellent response to a wild-eyed rant that was barely deserving of one. One additional point: France is, and has been for years, recycling the spent fuel rods from their numerous nuclear plants. A minute amount of nuclear waste is left over…and the French goverment stores it all in a single room in The Hague.

I know this is cool, and my inner geek loves it. But despite the surgery stuff, why? What else could it be used for'

How is it eco-friendly? What kind of testing has been done?
