2025-07-21 Plant Vogtle Cooling Tower Uses 15,000 Gallons A Minute Of Cooling Water

That’s over 80 million liters per day!  You have to realize that these new nuclear power plants make 4 billion watts of heat and about 1.4 billion goes out as electric power.  The remaining heat has to be dissipated as heat – so it goes into the water in the cooling tower. https://www.facebook.com/southernnuclear/videos/708110578766188/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

2025-07-17 Concrete Balls 700m Deep Store Energy

These concrete balls will be 30m or about 100 feet in diameter.  The water is pumped out of them, which I think means they get filled with air under high pressure.  If they are 700m under water the pressure would be about 70 atmospheres.  That’s about 10000 pounds per square inch!!  That’s a lot!  https://www.facebook.com/reel/1962932787809363/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

2025-07-15 Charging An EV Can Be Faster Than Fueling A Gas Guzzler

“The number one benefit of the EV life is the number one thing that people worry about.”  Charging an EV is not the same as gassing up a car. https://substack.com/app-link/post?publication_id=3459451&post_id=163345098&utm_source=post-email-title&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=5fqhcf&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjozMjg3NjA2NTUsInBvc3RfaWQiOjE2MzM0NTA5OCwiaWF0IjoxNzQ2OTkwOTIzLCJleHAiOjE3NDk1ODI5MjMsImlzcyI6InB1Yi0zNDU5NDUxIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.mxjFEHkgtVxSCES9q6qdkmr6C316W3gZufvOyPyfRR8
