Peter Zeihan doesn't know much about wind and solar power
Once again I return to correct one of Peter Zeihan’s videos where he spouts nonsense about energy policy. He may know much about geography, but not about wind and solar power.

Helion Energy: Are we 4 years from powering a data center with nuclear fusion?
มุมมอง 1.5K12 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Helion Energy has raised over a billion dollars to create the most unusual fusion generator on earth. Will they meet their commitment to deliver 50 MWs of power by 2029? Are they on to something? How does this thing work?

Peter Zeihan thinks Texas is doomed because they aren't building methane peaker plants. In fact Texas, and everyone else, have moved on from peaker plants and are building grid scale batteries.

Fusion energy has the possibility of being an energy panacea. All of the advantages of nuclear fission, but no possibility of a meltdown and no spent fuel to deal with. But for 50 years we’ve been unsuccessful in unlocking this potential. Are things different now?

The future of nuclear power isn’t glowing: it will not play a big role in decarbonization

Nuclear power has great promise to be a major part of our decarbonize journey. But what’s the reality of building and operating nuclear power plants. Will the future be dominated by wind and sun or nuclear fission?

Copenhagen Atomics is developing a thorium reactor that they promise will provide an endless supply of inexpensive, clean, and safe energy, having their first commercial reactor before 2030. Is there any chance of that happening? Or might their reactors explode like a nuclear weapon?

Is nuclear waste a reason not to build more nuclear power plants?

Today’s nuclear reactors typically create about 20 tons of spent fuel per year that needs to be managed carefully to prevent the release of radioactive pollution into the biosphere. In this video I’ll discuss the different components of spent fuel and our options for dealing with them safely.

Putting a cost on carbon: It's not a climate change panacea, but it's the closest we have
มุมมอง 1194 หลายเดือนก่อน
Why do Republicans oppose a market solution to climate change? Putting a cost on carbon is as close to a panacea as we have to reduce climate pollution and is implemented in every major economy in the world other than the US. Why is that? What are the benefits and weaknesses of putting a cost on carbon? What are different approaches to putting a cost on carbon? If you'd like to support my work,...
