or fusion. There are always these articles: net energy gain finally! and then: no not really.

Only if you use the notoriously dangerous breeder reactors – otherwise there isn't enough fuel.

Minnesota can use wind, which is also cheaper.

by VaxWithSex 4y ago
No, you are correct.

The net energy gain is very slim and has to be converted to electricity to power the lasers – in doing so, there's so much loss, it is again NEGATIVE. It's always the same…

Sure it exists, it is called compressed air. Even better with CO2. Close to me is the oldest one, built in 1972 and still operational today: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraftwerk_Huntorf

Anecdata from Germany: that never happend to me. Mostly trees falling on the tracks.

by VaxWithSex 4y ago
Yes and Deutsche Bahn is planning on doing it for all tracks where this is commercially and technologically feasible. The remaining tracks will mostly be battery electric trains and hydrogen. Source: https://www.tagesschau.de&#x2

Renewable energy using electrolyzers

Switch to renewables and storage for energy production, switch over everything to electric, making it more efficient. Then let the natural systems deal with the remaining excess carbon how they deal with volcanic co2.

They actually didn't. New plants only qualify as "green investments" if and only if they can be used to burn electrolyzed hydrogen in the future.

Nope, 100% green energy in the hands of the citizens.

It's a solved problem for Germany. Electrolyze Hydrogen, store it in the existing gas infrastructure for the winter. Use the gas plants to burn it in the winter.

But we have thrown money at the problem and for years haven't gotten a result. After the Higgs: Silence... nothing new.

Hossenfelder's critique is valid.

Thanks, I attempted to do the calc in my head... and it's been to long, that I learned Chemistry in school apparently.

I especially bookmarked it under "nice sites", too.

Imagine this: Picard goes to the holobridge. Computer, give me flight controls in the style of the enterprise-D Computer … … … Picard: Ah, right at home!

That comment is so funny, because my home runs on solar/pv plus battery storage and my car too, saving me a ton of money :)
