I’m impressed Bill Gates is promoting Nuclear Energy. You have my interest.
ReplyThat clip should have ended with an old Windows Shutting down tune.
Reply#1 Good job guys
ReplyOne of the biggest contributors to climate change is animal agriculture. More and more businesses are turning to plant based products, which is wonderful. I hope, desperately hope, that that number explodes, and fast. The number of businesses and consumers in the world who realize how enormous an impact they can make by shifting their habits towards a plant based lifestyle.
ReplyColbert seems stressed. I think the pandemic has been tough on him. These day he often slips out of being bright and urbane. Gates has reinvented himself in philanthropy, successfully. Not sure where Colbert is headed.
ReplyI’m sceptic about the nuclear though
ReplyThe sad thing about nuclear is that the very first reactor to create electric power was EBR-1, now a museum, in Idaho, that used liquid metal cooling in the 1940s. Despite all the tests run, the cooling system, a remarkable technical achievement in itself, never failed during the entire life of the reactor. They even shut it down to force the reactor to fail, and it did… by quietly shutting down without a SCRAM. Sure, they had to rebuild it, but it proved a metal-cooled reactor was essentially fail safe. But then GE said PWRs were faster, cheaper, better and now you have Fukushima. Thank you private industry. NOT!
ReplyNuclear power the single most expensive form of new energy today.
ReplyWe need energy storage not nuclear power.
Bill Gates caused fake snow in texas. The latest thing after failed chip vaccination conspiracy on the internet.
ReplyWe have green energy which isn’t weather dependent we built it in the 1930s it is called the Hover Dam.
ReplyOdd, now I kinda like Bill Gates???
ReplyAmazing how even the most intelligent people in the world have a hard time understanding that nuclear energy is not sustainable in that it is not renewable and finite. Even conservative estimates state that the worldwide reserves will be exhausted in less than 50 years, unless we decrease the number of nuclear power plants dramatically. This will only postpone the problem, not solve it. Instead we could invest more money in methan production using spare energy from renewable energy sources. In that way energy that is not used (for example solar energy in summer time) will not be wasted, the produced methan can be stored until needed PLUS the process binds CO2 (2 CO2 + 4 H2O -> 2 CH4 + 4 O2)
ReplyNuclear can be safe, look at the US Navy’s record—full disclosure, I worked and lived to the two nuclear reactors of the USS Bainbridge CGN 25 for four years—but you can’t do nuclear safely if you have shareholders/quarterly profits targets breathing down your neck.
ReplySo Bill gates is an expert in everything!
ReplyThe big problem with nuclear energy isn’t even it going kaboom. We use it for decades and still have no idea what to do with the burnt-out fuel. That stuff is dangerous and we just dig a hole in the ground, throw it in there and act like it’s fine.
