Modular Nuclear?

I have commented about Small Modular Nuclear Reactors for years.‘We should have been using them by 2020!’@UndecidedMF starts by telling us why big tech’s betting billions on nuclear, but I skipped to the good info? It is obvious why big tech is restarting and updating old nuclear reactors.‘They can afford to. It’s a good bet, because the nuclear reactors are proven to work.’ The nuclear…

Nuclear Energy Comeback?

Comeback from China… We can’t just ask for it… We must pay for it, in the billions…‘Pay China?’ We’ll pay China for the power to run our AI, if we don’t learn the truth about Nuclear Power, and believe it. I commented about the Modular Nuclear Reactors that we already should be using, in every city to relieve the Coal burning power plants. Not replace them but a room of Modular Nuclear Reactors…

Powering AI?  

 I have been recently commenting about Coolant Gels to use to keep networks from overheating. I found Mikros Technologies that I would like to see more about. I would like to know more about Graphene thermal semiconductors that Georgia Tech is researching.    I am guessing that Coolant Gels and Graphene will help keep the AI Networks from needing as much power to keep working.   For years, I’ve…

Humanity 1 MILLION Years from Now?

First, Earth will have changed on its own because of the underground Lava Blobs shifting the surface plates, and the poles would have flipped many times. I don’t know what the magnetosphere will be like over the next million years, let alone the ozone layer. Before Earth has become uninhabitable, humans will be living in the Protection Cylinders at a safe orbit of the Sun much like what I have…

U.S. nuclear industry upbeat on small reactors, despite setback

Despite the recent cancellation of a next-generation U.S. nuclear plant,backers of the carbon-free power source remain hopeful new projects willcome online by the end of the decade. Late last year, the U.S. energycompany NuScale announced it was pulling the plug on a small modularreactor (SMR) project in the western state of Idaho. The project — the sole SMR design yet to be approved by the U.S.…

Sceptism over Boris Johnson's plan for ''Britain carpeted in mini-nukes

Sceptism over Boris Johnson’s plan for ”Britain carpeted in mini-nukes

Amid this seismic structural shift, it is reassuring to know that ourPrime Minister has lost none of his world-renowned vision. According toreports, Boris Johnson wants to see Britain carpeted in so many mini-nukesthat he foresees “not quite everyone having their own small modularreactors in their gardens, but close to it”. Those were the words of one government aide, who sensibly chose to…
