I always had a fantasy about a log cabin with a pristine trout stream chaser, I modified that only slightly in the last decade, adding massive Internet pipe to the mix.

Outside of the money part – which still eludes me, the technology will be available next year. Toshiba will be marketing the “mini nuclear reactor” – a full 200 kilowatt reactor measuring a miserly 20′ x 6′ – small enough to put in the garage.

I figure I can get a package deal of the reactor and a big screen TV. Rustic cabin nestled in the pines, lights ablaze and TV loud enough to listen to the game while fishing. Fully self contained with no messy control rods to change or temperatures to monitor, capable of generating 40 years of power for peanuts. Comes with instructions – in English and Arabic.

The Alaskan wilderness will be tamed overnight.
