A heart of helium: A power source that could save the world?

This is a thread about the meltdown-proof, hot as hell, Very High Temperature Reactor, and something called the Dragon.

Let's turn up the heat…

Individual climate action is an essential part of what we need to do to stop climate change — in addition to pushing for policy and business change.

But what actions can you take? Here’s a way to think through this, and find the best fit for you.

Today on Volts: I talk to Lorenzo Kristov about his vision of a bottom-up energy system built around local distributed energy. Kristov is on my personal energy Mt. Rushmore -- few people have influenced my thinking more -- so I really treasured this one.

After visiting Taipei, I've become a road-width extremist

I used to be fully anti-car, but now I think if you simply make most roads barely 1 car wide and get rid of on-street parking, it gets you 95% of what you want

Taipei has a grid of major 6-8 lane roads through the city,

Did #climatechange cause that recent extreme event in my country?

I often hear people say that without subsidies nobody would invest in renewable energy.

Not quite right. Take solar in sunny Britain: Since 2020 (first year with no subsidies for residential solar) the number of annual installations has increased >5x.

Why is this? Because solar

Instead of proving something, you submit what you want to convince the audience of as something obvious, taken for granted, and therefore unconditionally supported by the overwhelming majority of the population.

Despite its seeming simplicity, this method is incredibly

The methods used by Russian propaganda described by a Russian journalist:

“I studied at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. We had a military department. In an atmosphere of secrecy, we were taught special combat propaganda - the art of sowing discord

This is Michael Singer.

A Yogi who built a $5.4 billion company while meditating in the forest.

He says letting go of control is the secret to his success.

I met him in 2023.

Here's what I learned on how to live a life of freedom and success:

168 years ago #Today , Charles Darwin began writing his book, The Origin of Species, sitting in the study of his country home in Down, England.

#Today in 1796, Edward Jenner administered the first successful vaccination against smallpox, which was also the first vaccination ever.

Jenner is often called 'the father of immunology': his work likely saved more lives than the work of any other human.

All the graphic in the post below without any citation proves is that someone is good at art projects.

Why is it that denier liars often do not give citations?
- Is it that they have no training in basic scholarship?

- Did they change it?

Not a single US or European carmaker can produce a vehicle like this — only China can. Why US and Europe are scrambling to impose more tariffs on the Chinese.

What is the specific evidence for solar, or volcanic forcing and how does it compare to the evidence for forcing consequent to GHG concentration changes?

Watch this from Brzezinski. If it looks like a different America it’s because it was a different America. What a fall

Oil & Gas is no longer in a growth phase & will decline in long-term value.

Those who complain about “underinvestment” fail to understand this fundamental shift.

Protesters have gathered for days already, but this night was of particular importance.
