🚨 Just in: an alien 👽 was spotted abducting a Qcells solar module from someone's roof!
We've been told that Qcells' premium n-type cell technology, Q.ANTUM NEO, is highly valuable in outer space.
Let us know if you see another abduction today on #UFODay! 👽
Pablos obviously understands this, but he didn't explain it in this talk: modern nuclear reactor designs aren't merely safer than the old light water reactors like Fukushima and Three Mile Island. (Chernobyl is a different old technology).
Modern reactors, like a molten salt reactor, are designed around a failure mode that results in the nuclear reaction cessation (stopping). The modern reactor cannot create its own conditions that result in a meltdown and hydrogen explosions which destroy the containment vessel.
The light water reactors designed in the 1960s and 1970s are, every single one of them, literally, disasters waiting to happen.
The Germans after watching Fukushima unfold did the math on what happens when one of these older reactors fails not at the edge of the Pacific Ocean with the prevailing breeze blowing out to sea, but with the breeze blowing across a major city or one of the global breadbasket agricultural regions. They didn't like the odds.
The world needs smarter nuclear fission designs. Government regulation isn't the only hurdle here, public understanding remains a big one.
We need to tell the story of these new designs in a better way, we can't just expect and wait for people to figure it out on their own.
Oh, and I haven't checked, but I'd bet a dollar that not *all* of the modern reactors have the safety profile of the molten salt reactors. Those that don't should be required to go back to the drawing board. We can't afford to build a new generation of nuclear reactors that are only somewhat safer than the Fukushima reactors of the 1970s. They need to be failsafe, because we need to build many new reactors, as is pointed out in the Q&A of this presentation.

Quasars emit 100 times more energy than the sum of all the luminaries in our galaxy
Initially, it was assumed that all pseudostars are powerful sources of radio emission.
But by 2004 it became known that there are very few of them, about 10%, while the rest are considered to be radio-quiet.
The #Grid. Utilities envision spending billions to upgrade a 19th century relic in order to meet the projected $3.4T in clean energy infrastructure and interconnection demand.
Today, roughly 10% of total grid revenue is spent on managing (rebalancing) the grid itself. Billions are spent modulating an archaic system and billions more are spent developing inefficient architectures.
#VPPs are a clear frontrunner for near term rebalancing across both residential and commercial DERs, but there are several barriers and challenges in their adoption. Utilities’ ability to integrate new programs hinges on adaptation of the existing energy systems and infrastructure.
We may be able to patch our way to a cleaner grid in the short term, but a full scale reconsideration of the way we distribute energy should be gaining deeper traction.
#WirelessPowerBeaming may be the answer.
We typically think of energy as electrons transmitted through physical conductors, but energy is also photonic. What happens when we remove the restrictive physical components and transmit from source to receiver via hyper focused beams (laser and microwave)?
At the risk of turning the energy and battery/storage sectors on their heads, wireless power beaming could reduce/replace:
▶ Transmission lines and existing transmission infrastructure (though new transmitters and receivers would replace existing infrastructure, it would eliminate wired conduit)
▶ EV charging stations (no more plotting routes by available charging stations)
▶ Mobile nano grids (since power would be available to beam into any remote area)
▶ Batteries for robotics, drones, or remote sensors (bringing autonomy to industrial scale monitoring)
▶ Intermittent terrestrial solar with continuous, clean and safe baseload power with no interconnection or export vulnerabilities
A limited number of university, commercial and government programs have showcased successful early demonstrations (CalTech-MAPLE, EMROD, USNRL), and several private companies have planned demonstrations in the pipeline.
Terrestrial potential is enormous and could usher in a much faster energy transition. Admittedly, I’m most excited by the potential for space-based solar power (#SBSP), which is inching ever closer to economic feasibility.
