Most of the article is sloppy, and this is absolute gibberish: "Recycling this abundant energy source would require replacing the plutonium in a RTG with a non-hazardous material that conducts electricity while resisting heat, not an easy task since most metals become hot when a current is applied to them."

Say what?


As mentioned, TEC efficiency sucks. I like the dual stage heat engine idea much better.
