Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@GiJuGim says : Think about what you might want a nuclear power. I just realized that everybody has a gas engine. And when you put a electric generator to that engine. Everybody has a small power plant. Currently with very small gas usage but who says that that's the only fuel you could use. Every person who has a gas car has a gas engine and you could convert that into a generator gas generator. Am I wrong? I think that's much cheaper than putting in a nuclear power plant. Yes this is an entirely different industry and can be that industry and I think there are more promises here then all the money you guys are setting aside for energy problem solution. Why waste and then just move to electric vehicles. When you divert from money from the energy and the transportation budget by solving it this way, you'll figure out better fuel too it doesn't have to be the fuel that you use only. Korean cars run on almost like propane I don't know what it is. Engine is on engine. You don't have to use it in a car. You're wasting all the resources because you can't think far ahead. Nuclear power plant as good as of an idea as it is you still need to connect it to the people everything all the problems still exist.>> <<@snowglade1 says : Less words Jordan.>> <<@jimtrowbridge3845 says : Cheap enough energy you Can make nitrate fertilizer. Natural gas is just used to make hydrogen for the Haber ammonia synthesis process.>> <<@jimtrowbridge3845 says : Best design reactor I have ever seen is one promoted by Ed Pheil. There are a couple of You tube videos where he explains this.>> <<@luiscarvalho1593 says : Thorium nuclear power plants…❤>> <<@rickvanveelen146 says : Is james having a stroke? His rightside mount is hanging and his right eyebrow is lower also. Please tell me this guy is okey jordan>> <<@joehuettinger3300 says : Thorium reactors should be the future>> <<@adamstanley3278 says : I really like Peterson and what he stands for, but I wish he'd let the guests talk lol - seems almost every question is Peterson: What's your favorite color? Guest: Well I've always liked bl P: ...because colors are very important and it's necessary to delineate what colors are your favorites in this instance so why would you choose the color you chose? G: Well yeah blue is... P: Blue is the most commonly favorite color yes but we really need to get at the heart of why people choose the colors they do, so could you give an explanation of why your favorite color is what it is, and if it's blue, what your thoughts are on why blue is so commonly chosen? G: Yes we've always liked blue, and... P: ...because you know it's not clear by the research that blue was even known to BE a color back in ancient times so there's really been a lot of historical change there - if you could explain your thoughts on why you and your organization are focused on blue?>> <<@quickmath8194 says : I don’t have time to watch this whole thing. Was he ever critical of Nano Nuclear in this interview? The founder has an atrocious track record with companies. They have very, very few full time employees and almost none with a nuclear background.>> <<@TurntBucket says : Great video. Subbed>> <<@imeagleeye1 says : Poisoning us with the Forever untreatable Highly Radioactive Waste 85 years on and you still have to store thousands of tonnes of nuclear reactor waste. It an environmental disaster.>> <<@imeagleeye1 says : Poisoning us with the Forever untreatable Highly Radioactive Waste>> <<@NacekO says : Does anyone know where I can find the data mentioned in the conversation? For example the statement mr. Peterson made about Germany now producing more dirty power due to lignite burning?>> <<@nealanthony3482 says : Wonderful and fascinating topic. One question for anyone that knows.... I read that micro-reactors produce significantly more nuclear waste per megawatt of energy produced. Is this true, and to what degree is it true? Would this just be creating a different kind of risk or a different problem?>> <<@SweetNectorOfTheGod says : Great video>> <<@yott79 says : I'm glad that companies like Peninsula Energy are restarting uranium production ON US SOIL>> <<@waterdoctor808 says : One of the most evident reasons for small reactors not being used is that of Human failure - Government and evil people want to use the radioactive materials to kill/damage/threaten their enemies.>> <<@richardcalf8337 says : If you think the 'Environmental Movement' is actually 'for', the environment and 'for', helping people, you're nieve beyond all recognition. The whole thing is obviously deeply anti human and anti human flourishing, the entire point is to cause human suffering, this is clear.>> <<@markgugliotta467 says : I looked closely at Jordan's suit, the pin stripes are actually letters. There is a message that says " clean your room". 😊>> <<@Dino_Hunter_420 says : Imagine all cars going electric and oil only needed for big machinery , the oil corp wouldn’t be happy 😂 maybe that’s why we don’t see push in reactors>> <<@louisegrise8719 says : It would be nice to have small units for individual homes.>> <<@stephenbrickwood1602 says : This is stupid. Millions and millions and millions of people and only 15% of energy used is electricity. Market place factors are based on economics. Grid economics. These two are as useful as '2 bags of wet mash.' 😮😮😮😮>> <<@mattminde1747 says : I would like to see a switch to Thorium. As it cannot be weaponsized.>> <<@stephenbrickwood1602 says : My concern is that the grid's $kWh supply rate is set at the 100% 'support' from all the customers on the grid. If the combination of rooftop PV and BV with OVERSIZED battery that is free to store excess electricity from any building carpark space, means that customers do not need grid electricity when the sunshines 🌞 😀 😉 The grid investment must have cash flow, adequate cash flow. So, the $kWh rate must increase for the remaining customers. This is a death spiral of increasing $kWh rates, shrinking customer base, and failing ROI.😮😮😮>> <<@terrygoldstein7676 says : With thorium reactors, you won’t be able to make nuclear weapons with the waste products…. China are building thorium reactors, because you do not have the same problems with the waste material>> <<@hernerweisenberg7052 says : "red hot glowing lead ball" xD>> <<@adamsquire7806 says : I want to know why no one is talking about thorium as it's readily available from other mines so cheaper than uranium.>> <<@shabadooshabadoo4918 says : It isn't the poverty stricken families, as you say, with one car and a tv killing the environment. its the owners of major factories and tons of land that they can exploit and then abandon, and the governments that enable it. Yes please, give out cheaper power. But making everyone rich isn't going to save the environment or even really help it in any way. At most it would speed up the adoption of electric vehicles and I'm not even sure that's a valuable trade off. You are 100% correct that people CARE more about environmental issues when they have money. You don't tend to give a damn about the world when you can't even feed yourself. But don't mistake caring for enacting change. At least not on a personal level. People would become more likely to vote for environmental causes until those causes become too expensive to support with taxes again and then people need food and shelter again, and then we are back here where we started. On the personal level people with money are more likely to have boats, and expensive cars, rv's, and order deliveries to their home, and go on more vacations, all those take a toll on the environment. If you care about the environment more than you care about feeding people then just make everyone dirt poor. Can't ruin the environment if you have nothing.>> <<@sergiokorochinsky49 says : 13:12 the Voyager has a thermal-electric turbine??? That tells me everything I need to know about this CEO Nuclear Physicist.>> <<@billlyell8322 says : A. For decades we have used nuclear reactors that have their fuel rods replaced every 2 to 8 years and stored as nuclear waste. B. For decades we have made and used rtg to power space satalites and probes. These generators last for decades of contant use. C. The nuclear waste ALREADY existing can be recycled to power rugs. D. Safe hydrogen storage was developed in the 1970s. It does NOT require cryogenic or high pressure. We could create 1k rtg to produce hydrogen at gas stations to fuel our vehicles. Hydrogen can be used for both ice and ev vehicles. But in addition most of the rtg output should be available to sell to the electric company for other customers. Assuming just 1k watt rtg per gas station, how many gas stations are in the USA? That's a lot of 1k watts in the neighborhood of tens to hundreds of thousands. Rtgs require no maintenance. They can not explode. They can not melt down.>> <<@4Nanook says : Jordan, I hope you don't mind but I wished to bring some clarity to the solar flare thing. The main danger these solar flares present to ground based equipment is induction of very low frequency currents in long distance transmission lines. In the old days long telegraph lines used to be an issue also but in modern days most communications is via fiber optics, not affected. The long distance transmission lines that are AC are affected because the transformers at the end have a very low impedance at the lower frequencies induced by the flares inducing larger currents and destroying transformers. Two things about the modern grid make it less susceptible, most long distance AC lines are now fused, so you have to replace a fuse, not a transformer, making it a much shorter and less expensive repair, and HVDC lines now coming into use because of their lower losses are not susceptible. Other electronics on the ground are not in danger because the atmosphere stops most of the particle based radiation, but space satellites not so shielded are. For this reason the only danger flares represent to reactors is the potential loss of external AC power.>> <<@elefnishikot says : Thorium is much safer than Uranium. Find out about Thorium.>> <<@scotthewatt6968 says : Why is no one talking about thorium reactors? Just asking.>> <<@davidjackson8787 says : We no more need more wind and solar generation than we need holes in our heads. We need reliable energy that is available 24/7 and their wind and solar is not something that can produce what we need. While I believe solar works there are to many problems with it. On your home it’s a fire hazard and on the ground it takes up to much space and makes that space useless 24/7 to provide a few hours of power at a low percentage of return. The cost of solar is beyond stupid due to companies that are screwing people over with systems that are way over priced and will never give you a reasonable ROI. My neighbor just signed for a 50 grand loan for a system that isn’t worth 15k but the company and the installer are happy they screwed him over big time. They used cheap crap that won’t last on the install and are laughing all the way to the bank. I did some quick math based on what they told me they did for my neighbors and asked why they charged him 50 grand for a cheap system that could never pay for itself. They got mad and left. 😂>> <<@detectiveofmoneypolitics says : 0:01 very informative content for clean energy "nuclear power reactor ">> <<@lukesalazar9283 says : A reminder that Jeffrey Epstein and John McAfee didn't kill themselves>> <<@brentsrx7 says : Seems like another socialist white elephant project to snatch federal influence with no clear defined plan or roadmap to implementation.>> <<@brentsrx7 says : This guy doesn't know how steam turbines work. No Bueno. He should not be making big calls in this industry.>> <<@brentsrx7 says : Check out the disaster that is RTG's in Russia. They are scattered around, unaccounted for, and causing catastrophic environmental damage. This industry needs to be tightly controlled.>> <<@miguelletain8822 says : I can confirm as a Yellowknifer that energy is outrageously expensive up here. We pay approximately 41 cents per kWh, which is by far the most expensive in Canada. The dam is only used peiodically and yes, most of our power comes from diesel. Nuclear up here would be a game changer.>> <<@jeremyholcombe3202 says : It has seemed to me for some time, that a large portion of the general population (of the West, at least) still do not appreciate how fossil fuels have propelled so many of us out of abject poverty.>> <<@6spdkeg says : Nuclear's greatest problem is government, lobbyist and regulator bodies having already shifted to "Green shit", figured out how to make their billions on that and it's still in process and they don't want to interrupt it without absolutely abusing and exploiting the new tech as much as possible, extremely slowing the process down. They're going to let if happen, just very slowly and way more expensive than it should be.>> <<@Collective_Unconscious_ says : “You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.” ― Carl Gustav Jung>> <<@l44va says : This company is on the NYSE. Ticker: NNE It's been very good over the last few trading days.>> <<@kkaalaas says : Ask him what the cost is>> <<@brandoncarnes5520 says : NNE stock>> <<@drivebyquipper says : NO NUKES!!!>> <<@dwwolf4636 says : Jordan, I think you can answer your own question. All claims of helping the poorer ( i.e. larger ) parts of society are a smokecreen to obfusticate what they really want. Political power over everything. I.e.Totalitarian power. The workers directly ,privately, owning their own means of production...that would be Capitalism ( or rather Free Markets economies, not Marx's strawman classification of such as Capitalism ) which is definately NOT what they want. If by socialism they really mean the Social control of the means of production... well by easy substition of observed behavior they really mean Government...i.e. *State* control of the means of production to what ever goal they deem best. I've been struck by the Narratives surrounding Capitalism lately and I wonder if that hasn't been the goal of the Socialist/Communist Faith for the last 170 or so years. We certainly adopted large parts of Marx's goals for a Communist Society. Fundamentally I'm not sure we actually have Free Markets anymore. The mediums of value exchange have morphed from Money, with an inherent value ( like precious metals ) into fiat currency ( backed by .gov force and mandated usage ) with inflationary schemes behind them. Couple that with government games with the price of money ( interest ) and the case could be made that the framework of value exchange is solidly in state/government hands. That alone is enough to cause recessions as a natural cause of inflating the currency supply vs. actual value od goods and services Couple that with regulation of the economy in the traditional sense ( 80000 pages of often contradictory rules in the USA ), again mandated by government. Well, combine all that and how "Free" are these supposedly Capitalist Markets anyway? Yet anything bad that happens economically is blamed on Capitalism. Yet we have vast amounts of Socialism ( the Social Control of the means of Production ) already.... Politicians love scarcity and problems. No scarcity and no problems = no need for politicians.>> <<@randycliff4045 says : Many government facilities have backup power systems (natural gas or diesel I believe) -- for example hospitals. Would nuclear be a better choice as the primary, with the city system used as a backup? I read a British Columbia hospital capital project is over $6m with $3m of the requested being for backup generators.>> <<@N54B30BMW says : Why aren't nuclear power plants everywhere? You don't even need small or micro reactors. And you certainly don't need fusion technology. Because all those will have the exact same problem that the nuclear technology of today has already: It solves the problem that everybody claims to have (clean and cheap energy) and has therefore enemies on environmental front and at the same time it makes very powerful enemies on the gas, coal and oil front as well as on the wind and solar front. And even on the geopolitical front. All those countries that want to sell their oil, gas or solar and wind know perfectly well that nuclear is capableof replacing them. So as long as we tolerate the lie as a political and media tool wewill never solve this.>>
