2024-02-20 Small Modular Thorium Molten Salt Reactors Are Coming To Europe
There is one issue that all nuclear plants have and that Sabine didn’t address, and that’s the huge consumption of water that all thermal plants have. Building nuclear or any thermal plants near a source of coolant water is necessary, and that can become a major conflict when most populated areas are also near water.

2024-02-13 Tesla To Build Largest 164 Stall Supercharging Station In California
That’s a lot of stalls! I also made a few calculations. The canopies at GF Texas have 9 by 4 = 36 solar panels. Assume each panel puts out 350 Watts. 350 * 36 = 12.6 kW. Each canopy covers 4 stalls, so 164 stalls divided by 4 = 41 canopies. 12.6 kW * 41

2024-02-06 Offshore Wind – Most Residents Support wind Farm Construction
This poll was released today. It’s not necessarily impartial. I love to hear that 68% of US coastal residents support offshore wind farm construction. But there are NIMBYs that don’t want the turbines for a number of reasons, most of them unjustified. 68% of US coastal residents support offshore wind farms – here’s why
