Could Joe Biden be correct about us having a “dark winter”?

[Samm]

No doubt, but that in no way assures widespread or rapid expansion of the technology.

they do not exist.

The sudden explosion in Corona cases will mean that the polls will not open on Nov 3

dark winter indeed

Advanced Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are a key part of the Department’s goal to develop safe, clean, and affordable nuclear power options. The advanced SMRs currently under development in the United States represent a variety of sizes, technology options, capabilities, and deployment scenarios.

You can’t get to a zero emission future without nuclear.

That is changing on the left more than you think.

The only two realistic options which science now offers to “transition away from fossil fuels” and preserve our existing standard of living are hydrogen and nuclear power. And the “clean energy” nitwits do not embrace nuclear power. As a matter of fact, most see nuclear power as a bigger threat to the environment than natural gas. Only nitwits and scientific illiterates believe such a transition can be made with wind, solar and hydropower.

Aside from that, a number of our oil and gas companies are involved in some promising research [maybe 20-30 years down the road] to begin a noticeable transition away from fossil fuels using hydrogen and nuclear power. But the path which Biden and his lunatic crowd preaches is less than wishful thinking.

It’s a sad shame that the discussion to transition away from fossil fuels has been politicized, and done so to garner the votes of useful idiots who probable could be conned into an alchemy scheme, and changing lead into gold, or in the case of “clean energy”, a rope-a-dope scheme to supply the world’s energy needs with wind, geothermal, solar and hydro-power.

Our communist/socialist domestic revolutionaries, which now control the Democrat Party Leadership, are known for accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of.

I don’t think that hydrogen will be happening any time soon.

There is a storage problem that hasn’t been solved yet.

I lost a good chunk of money investing in Hydrogen in the 90’s because I willfully ignored that hurdle.

SEE:

UNSW researchers report mass hydrogen storage breakthrough

And

Blue Ammonia: Another Major Breakthrough For Hydrogen Power

From all that I have read, this could reach the market in about 20-30 years, and maybe less!

I hope it works

But I will believe it when I see it.

A lot of people got burned by this in the 90’s.

Well, it appears to already be working for Microsoft, although in a limited way…

Microsoft makes hydrogen fuel cell breakthrough in quest …

July 27, 2020

“For the first time, Microsoft has successfully powered a row of data center servers using hydrogen fuel cells for 48 hours, a milestone the company is marking because of its potential to reduce reliance on fossil-fuel consuming generators.”

The fuel cells combine hydrogen and oxygen in a process that creates water vapor and electricity. Microsoft conducted the proof-of-concept at a data center near Salt Lake City, Utah.

Microsoft is investing in hydrogen energy technology as part of its effort to become carbon negative and eliminate its dependence on diesel fuel by 2030.

Our free market, free enterprise system works!

JWK

As I said. I hope it works.

It is technology that seems to be perpetually five years away.

Fusion has been poised to become commercially viable in 20 years … for the last 50 years.

But we weren’t talking about fusion. Were we?

The Biden/Harris socialist healthcare plan will tax America’s productive citizens and our retired Senior citizens to provide healthcare to the 1.5 million DACA and 3.6 million Dreamers in our country ___ LINK

Exactly! But don’t let common sense interfere with political nonsense.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want elderly American citizens, who were forced to pay into Medicare all their lives, to surrender and share their Medicare Trust Fund with millions of foreigners who have invaded America’s borders. LINK
