This is a 35 minute YouTube video on nuclear fusion. It’s a narration but the graphics don’t match up with the narration. I give it a grade of C minus. Quote “”The ITER reactor is designed generate to 500 Megawatts of fusion power for at least 400 seconds, achieving a ten-fold gain in plasma heating

Wow! I have a few, they’re not intuitively easy, they’re so complex that most people would give up after a few minutes. But it’s nice to know that there are wizards out there. https://www.facebook.com/reel/339157212322231?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

Quote: “”The global wind industry installed 117 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity in 2023, making it the best year ever for new wind energy – here’s what happened and where.”” 2023 was a record year for wind power growth – in numbers

That’s great news! One thing I just remembered is that the nuclear power plants (Diablo Canyon, Palo Verde) usually shut down for maintenance in the spring when demand is lowest. Otherwise they normally run 24/7 and there wouldn’t be any time during the day when it would be 100% renewables. California exceeds 100% of energy
