Turning school rooftops into solar farms in the US has not only saved emissions and reduced energy costs, it has provided a new way to pay for salary increases for teaching staff.
Nuclear Fusion remains an elusive source of clean, abundant, non-radioactive energy. This is largely because the temperatures needed to fuse elements together have traditionally required so much energy the whole reaction results in a net loss of energy. By introducing lasers to speed up the heating process, some net energy gains have been demonstrated - albeit for very short durations. But a radically different approach, which uses lasers to accelerate the movement of hydrogen through boron, holds the potential promise of being able to generate petawatts of clean, non-radioactive electricity directly from the unit. https://youtu.be/OlGzt9ur1bY
Nuclear is becoming a hot topic as a source of clean energy so we decided to have host a conversation about it. Nuclear power remains banned under two Australian federal laws, but it’s an industry with a lot of industrial potential. Among 60 recommendations in a recent NSW Productivity Commission white paper was lifting a ban on nuclear electricity generation for small modular reactors.Many Australian political discussions don't consider latest developments in SMR's but now that Australia is contracting to buy nuclear-powered submarines we should. According to our discussion Australia could even benefit from a circular economy in uranium.https://youtu.be/uypAIsQdaWI
