The Fusion Energy Breakthrough vs. Climate Change

Listen on

Episode notes

A net energy gain for fusion in a lab is a landmark scientific achievement but we're decades away from commercialization according to experts. We have to decarbonize the planet by 2050. Will fusion energy contribute? Utility solar farm that lays the panels flat on the ground is commissioned. The Salton Sea in California could provide all the United States lithium needs and then some (CNBC video link). And it could be the greenest lithium in the world. The Keystone pipeline spills its wares all over Kansas.

Will traditional nuclear energy be effective to reach our climate goals? A study casts shade on that idea.

17:36 - The fusion breakthrough in California. What it doesn't mean for the race to net zero and what it does mean for our grandchildren.

Free New York Times article on this.

As well we’ll have stories on Canada cancelling fossil fuel subsidies, sorta, an update on the people shooting at a power substation causing blackouts, sails for cargo ships, people who hate wind turbines are more likely to think the moon landing was fake, plus a new study on traditional nuclear helping or not helping the fight against global warming, and much more!

A listener in Virginia asks us about a proposed new community solar farm near him and how he should deal with the misinformation floating around.
