Though Fukushima didn't cause any immediate deaths and a relatively low number of indirect deaths, the environmental impact was disastrous! Nine years later and the plant continues to contaminate groundwater (over 1million tonnes as of 2019)! #Lesson8

It is amazinglly strightening to see how human activities due to Carbon emission from Fossil fuels are affecting negativelly the future of our planet #Lesson12
Incredible agian how Coal, oil, and natural gas are pointed out in the pollution .. But nuclear wastes were not really looked at in #Lesson10#NuclearEnergy , #Coal, #Oil, #NaturalGas
Finally a good thing about new products.
Appilances are made more efficient nowadays to save money on energy use :)
But their lifespan is not as good as the old ones :(
#Lesson9
U-238 is a good way to effectively use what we have on hand.
This is pure engineering mind who thought about that. We were indeed using the 1% U236 of the Uranium ore to produce energy while we had 99% U238 available to use.
Ouff, engineers were there to solve this #NuclearFuture
Energy through Nuclear Fusion will change the world.
This will have all the benefits of Nuclear Fission without the adverse effects of it. Indeed, #NuclearFusion releases less radiation produced, less radioactive waste, and it is highly dense (30ml of Fusion fuel=270000L of gas)!
#NuclearEnergy.
This energy was of non sense before #Lesson8. Now, I realize, that it is not that bad actually.
0.07% deaths versus about 30% for coal!!
Biomass:
Through fermentation of plant glucose, you can get Ethanol.
Wonder if with a little more reseach we could get other alcohol as well from it ;p
