I sure hope not.
First, transporting anything to the sun is *very* expensive. You'd need a delta-v of about 30km/s.
Second, putting radioactive waste on top of a vehicle with a track record of blowing up unpredictably and spectacularly is pure madness.

Dear Mr. Sloman, if you want to be taken seriously then you need drop the comment Norton is adding to your messages. Nobody with clue uses any Norton products in 2024.
Attention from.... who, exactly? The police in my country are all too busy watching screens for mean tweets. In the US, thieves are considered fine, upstanding and often oppressed people, who certainly shouldn't be bothered by nasty law-enforcers.
If it's dangerous, it must be emitting energy. Why are we burying free energy?
The 'unit' of electricity has featured on UK electricity bills since before I was born, and has always been 1kWh. It should really be capitalised to distinguish it from other, generic, units.
No those are units of electricty. The kWh is THE unit of electricity People,
As it seems are you
Investor's Chromicle? The internal combustion industry spreads that sort of propaganda when they see their sales falling. Sucker like you take it seriously.
You may like to think that.
That isn't a way of getting your name on a patent.
Big deal.
Not that anybody has complained about. I got on fine with my boss at EMI (who was six months younger than I was) and had a Ph.D. from Edinburgh and had some 25 patents to his name, and I still swap e-mails with him from time to time, and a couple of my other colleagues. The Scot who went to Oxford was just as practical and as easy to get on with.
I certainly don't despise academics. I married one, and she has done very well (but I've had to promise not to identify her here).
So does John Larkin. You don't stay in business if you don't. Some people can improve on that level of design.
Phil Hobbs seems to be one of them.
I preferred
Popper and "falsification" are handy clubs to use to beat up pretentious twits, but the business of working out and testing useful hypothesis is rather more complicated than that.
And who do you think is going to come out to the millions of false alarms, and how fast?
THE Unit is defined as a KWh. but being an asshole, you wouldn't know that
Yes, at the University - I have my MA certificate somewhere.
Yes, of course you can. You have to consider all the possible problems as well as the benefits.
Of course but Sloman is eponymous. He hasn't caught up with the 20th century yet.
Don't be silly. Powering all road vehicles through the grid would add about 30% to the total load on the generating system, which would be a problem if it happened overnight.
Before that I would look into dropping it into a ****ing big active volcano. Although I suspect there are probably some good reasons I am unaware of why it's not done now.
"Slowman" might be eponymous. Sloman - as a west country English surname
- is a contraction of "slough man", which meant somebody who farmed land close to a river or creek.
The Natural Philosopher seems to be "natural" in the Shakespearean sense of not having had enough education. He claims to have been to Cambridge, so he may have had the opportunity to get educated, but the process doesn't seem to have gone to completion, if it happened at all.
Any have it all spewed out again? A deep ocean subduction zone would be a lot more sensible.

It's Dr. Sloman, if you want to pretend to be formal.
And the computer still runs Windows 7. It does have a Linux partition, but I haven't used in a decade. Norton Symantec has worked fine for me for more than twenty years now, and the computer magazines I subscribe to still seem to like it.
If there's a problem, it's in Thunderbird, which is what I use to access Eternal September. Thunderbird is clunky with large files, and I have thought about switching to SeaMonkey
The point of detecting that the cable had been cut would mean that any alarm generated wouldn't be false. You seem to have missed that.
Or a deep hole in the ground, which we already have.
Used fuel rods can profitably be refined into more reactor fuel, but politics get in the way.
Claws-Mail has a Windows port, and is very much faster than TB, not that that is a high bar.
No. you do.
I *did*. And the conclusion was absolutely clear. Nuclear power beat renewables hands down on every metric - cost, reliability, carbon emissions, environmental impact - you name it, nuclear was better. to the point wher it was not wrong to say that 'renewable grids will never work'
