Does TRIUS do any work with alternative/green energy technologies? Solar, bio, anything like that?

What do people usually mean, when they say green energy? Does it have a specific meaning, or is it just another buzzword?

Well, I don't know how others use it, but to me it has a very specific connotation. It means "a way to generate energy by minimally impacting the environment".

Hope this helps.

I know what it means, I was being coy because a lot of people and companies use the term lightly, simply to make themselves sound important and "cool". I guess the levity was lost in the translation

I understand, Johannes. However, I still haven't gotten an answer to my original question Does anyone know?

Fedya, I like that

Fedya, KimChin are you guys serious? So, what about the thousands of tons of radioactive material that is the byproduct of the process? How do you deal with it without "impacting" the environment?

I am not a nuclear option opponent, but I mean come on, we have to call things by their name!

Relax, Mike. There are different shades of green, you know! If you consider greenhouse gas effects and compare nuclear with the other "established" sources of energy (coal, oil, gas,...) it comes up on the winning side, when it comes to environmental impact. I a not the one saying that, take a look at the 100's of technical reports on the subject, on-line.
