@lukebelmar “I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success . . . Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.” -Nikola Tesla

40. It is impressive that there is so much going on around us all the time but that we do not own the receptor to see them. Therefore, seeing in reality only a small fraction of the world light.

39. Thank you for posting this, i believe company should charge 1 to 2 dollar for the cups if people don t bring their own in an objective to lower the use of non-reusable cups.

38. Breeder reactor are interesting as indeed they produce more fuel than they consume as well as creating small amount of energy at the same time.

Breeder reactors produce more fuel than they actually consume! #Lesson8

37. I believe that on a personal level one of the best ways to help with the environment is to use technology such as the ones in energy star dishwashers to be the most efficient with our electricity consumption.
#phys273

[Alex Gravel @AlexGravel]

Awesome! Energy star dishwashers uses special sensors to test how dirty the dishes are throughout the wash and adjust the cycle.

36. It is impressive that some countries are able to produce almost if not all there energy from renewable sources. Good job to Norway for achieving it.

did you know that Norway depend 99% on hydroelectric power generation! #Lesson7

35. Crazy to see how solar energy cost has decrease over the past 10 year over this period the price when from $350 to around $50 per megawatt hour.
#phys273

[MathewLevitskyKaminski @LevitskyMathew]

We are at the point where solar energy is becoming the same cost as other resources. That is the time to invest. Here is a visual to explain: #Lesson6

[Simon @SimonBler]

34. Thank you for sharing this visual really help me get a better grasp how solar electricity is produced.
#phys273

[MathewLevitskyKaminski @LevitskyMathew]

Active solar energy has moving components in order to produce electric energy. Here is a visual showing the process. #lesson6

33. I know that the day i will buy a house it would be well insulated as in the long term it would be a great investment both for the planets and my wallet.

32. Yes, i believe that maybe not at a university level level but instead that in high school one class that is mandatory talk about sustainability and good practice to do, as it would definitely help the future generation make better choices.

31. Both Funny and Interesting at the same time, Thank you for sharing.

29. I believe that in the long term nuclear power is not the best answer as it does create nuclear waste; however, until we can find something that can compete for the amount of energy produced while pollute less, nuclear power is our best options.
#phys273

[Faizin @explore33409388]

Most of mainland China's electricity is produced from fossil fuels, predominantly from coal – 71% in 2017. Hence, the momentum for nuclear power in China is increasingly due to air pollution from coal-fired plants. #Lesson8 #phys273

[Simon @SimonBler]

28. Interesting fact, I did not know that human release that much radiation that it could be worst to a nuclear plant.
#phys273

[Clean Jobs PA @cleanjobspa]

.@WorldNuclear says: sleeping next to someone exposes you to 2 millirem/year of radiation. Living next to a nuclear energy plant? Only .01 millirem of radiation. Co-sleeping is 200x more radiation! Clean, safe, reliable – nuclear. https://t.co/Zo7qRlSY3W

27. I agree with your point of view; however, 1,000,000 years is to long in my opinion as no place on earth can be declared safe for that long due to movement of tectonic plaques or other natural disaster which no region is 100% safe from.

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

I agree with the safety rule change that happened with the US Yucca Mountain storage site. Instead of 10 000 years of safety, rules now demand 1 000 000 years. @phys273 #Lesson8 #NuclearAccidents

26. Thanks you for this information, as i often confuse fission and fusion. I have now a clear idea of the difference between the two.

25. Thank you for this information, this table will definitely go into my notes as it is an easy way to remember about pros and cons of a Hydroelectricity.

24. This is really impressive, I did not know that a dam could create that much energy for that many persons.
#phys273

[sgiubi_PHYS 273 @SGiubilaro]

I never knew that the hoover dam generated enough energy to give power to 1.3 million people.... #lesson7 #phys273

23. I believe they do look great especially on huge farming land for example, as it has less visual impact. However, the biggest problem with windmills in my opinion is the buzzing sound they produce day and night which can affect living organism around it.

[Aaron Francis @aaronfrancis273]

Who else agrees with the professor that windmills look great on a landscape?? I certainly do!! #windpower #windenergy #windmills
