I heard an amazing fact on Chirs Martenson's channel in which he stated that the energy required to build a 100 KWh battery pack for a Tesla is equivalent to the amount of CO2 that the average gas car

John Maynard Keynes suggested that human labor was the basis for wealth, but he was wrong. A fit human being can put out around 100 W of power. Assuming this can be kept up for 8 hours, then a fit worker

As I mentioned in a previous post, water is the worst coolant imaginable for a nuclear reactor. It remains liquid only at low temperatures (0-100 DegC) and then requires massive pressurization to stay

100 MW of power sounds like a lot. If you had a 100% reliable generator that produced at 100 MW, over the course of a year it would produce 100X365x24=876,000 MWh of energy. A typical home (without electric

Despite what you may think, the most dangerous part of a conventional nuclear reactor is not the fuel; it is the water. Water boils at a ridiculously low 100 Deg C. This means that in order to keep the
