Here to learn how to be everywhere all at once

At the current rate of consumption uranium deposits will last roughly 100 years

[Jade @LongpreJade]

An issue with nuclear power is the safe long term storage of waste product

[Jade @LongpreJade]

Fusion is the conjunction of atoms

[Jade @LongpreJade]

Fission is the splitting on atoms

[Jade @LongpreJade]

The energy flow of a power plant: nuclear energy - kinetic energy of fragments - thermal energy - kinetic energy generator - electrical energy

[Jade @LongpreJade]

OECD countries stand for 'Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development'

[Jade @LongpreJade]

It only took the sun 4.5 billion years to figue out how to effectively create energy through fusion - what's taking us so long?

[Jade @LongpreJade]

the fact that all forms of energy production seem to impact those around us negatively should tell us something about the quantities we are using

[Jade @LongpreJade]

downsides of nuclear energy include the weaponizing of radioactive materials and wastes

[Jade @LongpreJade]

is there a single way to produce energy without negatively impacting everything around us?

[Supreme Leader of Energy @TraniJoseph]

Damming a river can affect wildlife negatively #Lesson7

[Jade @LongpreJade]

solution: everyone stop cooking your food. If you catch salmonella, you get feverish symptoms therefore also resolving the heating issue

[Supreme Leader of Energy @TraniJoseph]

2.5 billion people use combustion for cooking and heating #Lesson7

[Jade @LongpreJade]

you should run for office.. this is genius

[EnergyM @EliorEnergy]

The absolute solution to a low-battery #lesson6 #unlimitedenergy #SolarEnergy

[Jade @LongpreJade]

Not even surprised

[Supreme Leader of Energy @TraniJoseph]

Chinese wind production is at the top #Lesson7

[Jade @LongpreJade]

cool how chemistry and biology are everywhere

[Supreme Leader of Energy @TraniJoseph]

Fermentation is a metabolic pathway used by yeast to convert glucose into co2 and ethanol #Lesson7

[Jade @LongpreJade]

which has the highest input cost? Which produces a greater yield?

[Supreme Leader of Energy @TraniJoseph]

hydropower can be produced two ways; run of river and dams #Lesson7

[Jade @LongpreJade]

ex: NAD+ to NADH in cellular respiration

[Supreme Leader of Energy @TraniJoseph]

Hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source #Lesson7

[Jade @LongpreJade]

So proud of Norway - using hydro power to provide for 99% of their electrical needs. #NorwayStandards (they're a cold country too)

[Jade @LongpreJade]

Personally, I love the sight of wind farms. I don't understand how some people see their presence as a disadvantage (I do get the noise and bird disadvantage though)

[Jade @LongpreJade]

I'm curious as to how much of our energy output can realistically come from renewable energy sources.. Canadians already rely 60% on hydroelectricity - how many years until we reach 80% renewable?
