Fusion and helium 3 are the future, sadly China will be the one that monopolises it since everyone else just doesnt care about the moon, wich is where most of that stuff is.
Those micro generators(the ones powered by viruses) has gotten pretty far. They already making athletic shirts and pants with that technology to power your phone, expensive though.
@@Jarrd260 I know there's a ritzy health-fitness spa in Houston Texas with a pair of escalators to take you street to entrance. I heard they were gonna have the fitness buffs running inside generate electricity with athletic shirts and pants to power those escalators to take the fitness buffs up to the front door. I think we should look to this sort of "can do" technology to solve all future human issues.
@@grindupBaker Do you have any idea how in the world that's going to work? Sounds interesting, but not very efficient... Be very wary of business people taking advantage of young people who honestly do care about our environment ok 👍🏻
I personally think that fusion will replace all of these due to the fact that only a few reactors could provide more than enough power for the entire planet. It’s also a good idea for long term space travel because it can run on hydrogen the most common element in the universe. Then again it may never happen since it’s so efficient that electricity prices would drop drastically the only real reason to pay an electrical bill after this is to justify the cost of building
***** You should be thankful that you ARE alive. Not only that but healthy, not in extreme poverty, educated and human. You could have been a mosquito 1.9 billion years ago and lived for 2 days. Think about it. Don't think about what you could have, think about what you have and enjoy it.
Raphael Pistor I realize that. But to have been born human, and healthy, but just outside a human lifetime from what is looking to be a pretty incredible world. "So close and yet so far". Know what I mean?
I get what you mean but if you compare our world to that of only 20 years ago, it's the amount of change is insane (mainly due to the internet). Imagine another 20 years. The changes that will happen in the next 20, 30, 50 years are going to be insane. We won't even recognize this world that we live in.
I know I'm late, but in reality the problem is perspective. We have the most advanced piece of technology imaginable sitting in our sky, it's literally a prerequisite for all of these technologies, but instead of trying to learn more about it we waste our energy building bombs and starting super projects that dont finish. The US spent billions on unfinished nuclear reactors, and the ones in operation still arent being updated despite old technology being the only reason Fukishima was possible. If it werent for people protesting the plants in Japan, Fukishima wouldve been upgraded with a gravity well to prevent meltdowns without requiring a power source. American nuclear infrastructure is deteriorating too, nothing is new and scientists are scarce.
everyone should have a fitness bicycle at home connected to some home local battery and/or to the grid. So people would be motivated to do exercises and get rewarded directly by saving money and indirectly by saving the planet.
The problem with that is just that the power output of your fitness bicycle is very low, meaning unless you are a topnotch athlete you won't be able to even power a hair drier and even if: Can you do that for 1 full hour? But nonetheless, as an engineering student, I love your idea!
rchann Notice how he never mentioned LFTR, and only mentions junk monkey science. He came kind of close with the fast breeder which are still solid fuel, and have a terrible meltdown track record.

+Blagoj Tasev know a company in the states that did this they had to heat the Algiers to specific temperature and the fuel cost to heat it was just barely less than the amount of fuel used lol
Algae may sound good in theory, but the efficiency of algae collecting sunlight and converting into fuel is only a fractional percentage. This means that the cost of getting a biofuel from algae is about $85 per gallon according to recent estimates. This means it is not practical in the long run.
I hope this will be viewed as constructive criticism, as on the whole, I quite enjoyed the video: a) the item marked "8. Tidal power" does not discuss tidal power, but rather focuses on wave power. These are two very different energy sources, with two very different futures. b) "7. Hydrogen" is not an energy source, but rather a means of transporting energy. Hydrogen still needs to be manufacutred somewhere, either by use of extreme heat, or by consumption of electricity. Perhaps this item could be replaced by one on Thorium reactors.
Great Research! "An in-depth look at how the world will be powered in the coming years. These are ten most promising alternative energy sources of tomorrow. It’s a really exciting time to be alive. We have a front row seat to the only known transformation of a world powered by dirty fossil fuels, to a planet that gets its energy from renewable, clean sources. It’s happening just once, right now."
Well, on nuclear evergy, you didn't mention Thorium Liquid Salt reactors which can put out ~95% evergy as direct electricity, also use up nuclear waste (though not as efficiently as as what you already covered) as the reaction process recycles the uranium/plutonium used to start the reaction, and if it gets out of hand there's an emergency draining system that moves the liquid to a cooling chamber solidifying the solution effectively ending the reaction automatically. Then to get it going again you reheat the solution and pump it back into the reactor and you're golden. Not to mention the "waste" can be used for a very wide variety of medical and industrial applications. Oh and the amount of Thorium used is miniscule yet generates enormous output. AND Thorium is a waste product of mining (especially in the US) so from decades of this we have a giant resource pool to pull from.
Gavin Alward cant they use the "waste" for medical cancer treatments and 238 is needed very badly by nasa for there space batteries right. meaning if its in space in a sat its not on earth.
John Garvey Yes! In fact I just saw a commercial today for "proton therapy", I think it's what they called it. I can't think of the specific isotope used for the type of treatment right now though. It'd be interesting to find out what they're using and where they get it. I don't know much about NASA's "space batteries" but I can imagine it'd be useful somewhere. Also, as far as space goes, if a small scale LFTR was developed it would be near perfect for space travel and powering tech off world; say, a moon base. And although solar is getting more and more efficient all the time, for any deep space travel you'll need something a bit more sustainable using very limited resources.
Gavin Alward This technology will have to be produced privately because of the vested interests of big business and lobby groups behind our political "leaders ". China has purchased the GE technology from Oak Ridges and is pushing ahead to secure the IP's {international patents}. We may have to produce thorium reactors for a needy country to help wake up the West. At least thorium is plentiful (cheap), and the reactors can be located anywhere , not needing cooling water. Perhaps small encapsulated reactors could be used for transportation .
Both China and India have working Thorium reactors. They will be the next wave of safe nuclear power until the problems with fusion reactors are solved.
You missed thorium based nuclear technology which was first proposed by the inventor of the current light water reactors. It does not depend on uranium fuel, high pressure or produce massive quanities of radioactive waste or weapons grade products. It uses inherently walk away safe liquid salt, high temperature low pressure design.
Happy to see so many people discussing Thorium and next generation reactors. Especially molten salt reactors. This is very viable technology that needs rapid development. This could be an interim option until other power sources are properly developed. Not something the oil, coal and gas frackers want you to know about.
The solar power plant in California that is mentioned at about the 7:26 mark is one of the most expensive energy power plants, that if it was not prompted up by the government, would have been shut down by now or never would have been built. It is the perfect example of how we can build something as a proof of concept, and then we should learn that it was a bad idea and never do it again. It cost about 10,000 times more to buy electricity from that power plant than it does from more traditional solar power plants. It is also important to state that solar is still the most expensive way to generate electricity. Also, growing by 500% or f times is saying that solar went from .26% of the U.S. energy production to 1.3% of the U.S. energy production, which is not a bad thing, I just think that we should be honest with the solar growth. I cold discuss many other points in this video, however, it is best to say that there are many cool ideas out there, however, the technologies are not ready for massive implementation.

more than likely,simply ignored it.It’s alright,if we don’t build them,China,and/or India will.They’re both spending big money to develop,thorium based,liquid fluoride reactors..A long shot,he didn’t mention.is the so-called”vacuum energy,or zero point energy”.It’s real,and plentiful,but we have no way to use it

i. kavi , I just added my opinion on why enumeration of alternative sources of energy is not a winning arguement. The adversary is the rich billionaires who own the Coal and Oil industries. They tell their workers that the global warming is a hoax and that their workers will be unemployed very soon if because of introduction of these alternative sources of energy. These workers who are largely losing their jobs should be hired and trained to build rechargeable batteries and PV cells so they can be assured that their livelihood is respected by the new industry. Stop preaching logics to these workers. They feel worthless if they are not working and who could reassure them practically? The new barons of the alternative sources of energy! Your audience should not be Me! It should be those whose jobs are being on the verge of being wiped out! Retraining of the Coal and Oil miners is money well spent on the road to a new and viable alternative to energy. Go for it!
We all want clean safe and Powerful Energy. But the powers at be don't. They want to stay on Big Oil until its all gone, because they are heavily invested . Anything that threatens their plan will be blocked ,hidden , ridiculed and Erased ..
***** Yep for good or bad the military industreal complex has their hands on nearly every part of modern life. Depleted uranium projectiles ,plutonium fusion warheads. Also If development goes down certain paths secrets will reveal truths that will make the petrol economy obsolete ...
Some of these ideas have some caveats too. How much it takes time/energy/natural resources to produce new energy in reality. Long time periods, adding up the whole supply chain cost.
Using pressure to make electricity is called Piezoelectricity and it'd been used for a LONG time. Piezoelectric Plates are cheap , and used in pressure sensor ... It's crystal power ! "Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (such as crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins) in response to applied mechanical stress. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure and latent heat."
One Product that can generate electricity if you walk on it is called the Pavagen tile, if we could put this on roads, it could generate a lot of electricity if cars go over it.
Another great video by TDC! Your absorbing voice combined with your almost perfectly explanative videos are so instructively brilliant!! Keep these great videos coming bud! :D
The Daily Conversation Your welcome bud! :) Yea, *NASA's* next *Mars scout mission* & the different teams competing to be selected for its next big Mars mission. Here's a link to one of the competing teams work : marsairplane.larc.nasa.gov
I was quite surprised with the floating wind turbine ! a very neat idea ! oh, you missed thorium fission reactors-molten thorium salt for the fuel which could very easily be up and running before Fusion...what's quite exciting is that all the developers going for fusion now have a new more powerful superconductor to play with, it makes the magnetic field that confines the hot plasma fuel much stronger and thus more able to sustain the reaction in a more compact configuration
I would argue that the ultimate source would be anti-matter, if we, one day, can tap into this, and find an effective way to either store it or use it as we produce it. If you wanna know more on the subject just research anti-matter. This is, by far, the biggest source of pure energy that our current physics know of. Here's a simple to understand text about the subject: www.thoughtco.com/matter-antimatter-power-on-star-trek-3072119
You missed "Thorium" Reactors. We never needed to use Uranium, except that our military wanted to build bombs and you can't build bombs with Thorium. They needed the reactors to make enriched Uranium and Plutonium, to make even more powerful bombs.
I'd like to hear updates and/or new developments on the topics you covered a year or two years ago, such as this video about energy sources, the video about city megaprojects around the world, and so on.
I think you should have included energy that can be generated through Thorium. It very less radioactive with it half of only 8-9 minutes as compared to years in case of tradition fission reactors.

@@4notron 'I believe every fast breeder that has been tried has either melted down, or was shut down before it did.' I don't think a fast breeder has ever 'melted down'. One near Detroit did partially melt a couple of fuel rods, but was repaired and put back into service. No radiation was released, and nobody was harmed. Russia has two large fast reactors providing power, and last month signed a contract to build some in China. India has a small demonstration one, and has a large power reactor almost ready for service. There are currently no reactors running on thorium, though a few did so in the sixties and seventies, and there has never been a power producing molten salt reactor.
The Daily Conversation I like some of your publications. Hopefully the independent news source will not follow main-stream propaganda on this issue. What about wider spectrum of view on Russia and Russian president Vladimir Putin ..to look from different perspective and do deeper research based on the variety of original sources. p.s. here is something different, full interview transcript of Q&A by Putin www.veteranstoday.com/2014/03/07/putins-full-one-hour-interview-transcript/ you will see something that we in the West don’t get to see very much.
Small correction...Tidal Power (in the segment title, 2:00) is not the same thing as Wave Power (which is what you actually described in that segment).
Did my teacher intend for me to watch a whole 13 minute video? Yes. Will I just look at the description and write down the 10 energy sources instead? Of course
Molten salt reactors like mentioned in the video are mostly associated with the use of thorium (you can also use uranium, but thorium is more efficient and safer). And anti-matter energy won't be available in our lifetime, we don't even know how to get large amounts of anti-matter that we could use. I feel a little bit sad because of this because as soon as we are able to use anti-matter as an energy source, we should be able to make interstellar travel possible.
@@smittywerbenjaggermanjense672 Thousands of pseudo-scientists on these pages, I imagine that there could be a TESLAAA among them, well! for what? he who invented free and clean energy, was treated badly by physicists and greed, today it would be the same, there is a lot at steak...., economies and governments, greed, physicists and scientists and many more enemies for this to happen on a wide scale.

You cant get antimatter energy, the annihilation between matter and antimatter simply dissipates into other particles like neutrinos and quarks but mostly photons, the only energy the collision releases is light energy and thermal energy of which none are energy stores
I have an idea for a lifting force machine. Step 1: Get hollowed out cube. Step 2: Securely attach magnet to inner bottom of hollowed out cube. Step 3: Place a lever on inside bottom of cube behind the magnet thats securely attached to inside bottom of cube so that one side of the lever is pointing towards you and hanging over the magnet. Step 4: Attach a vertical bar to the top side of the part of the lever that is not hanging over magnet witch is securely attached to inner bottom of cube. Make sure the bar goes all the way up to the inner top of the cube barley touching it. Step 5: Securely attach a magnet to the side of the lever that is hanging over the magnet that is attached to the inner botttom of cube. Note: Magnets need to be facing each other with attracting poles N,S or S,N Note: The lever is going to have to be realy close to the magnet on inner bottom of cube because of how close those magnetic fields need to be to interact. But not so close that magnets can touch. The magnet on top connected to lever is pulling the magnet on inner bottom of cube towards it and since the magnet on inner bottom of cube is connected to cube, this pulling force acts as a lifting force. Now at the same time the magnet on inner bottom of cube is pulling the magnet on top downwards BUT the magnet on top is connected to the lever so any downwards pulling force is being converted mechanicaly by the lever into upwards lifting force. Now if you know anything about magnets you now that there are magnets powerfull enough to lift far more weight then just there own. So essentialy this divice is exploiting the powerfull pulling force of magnets by mechanicaly transforming its magnetic pulling force into mechanical lifting force through the clever utilization of a lever, and walla stuff can be made to fly. Imagine if the magnets in this experiment where electro magnets so the ammount of electrical current going into them determined the ammount of lifting force that it would have. Now imagine this system being used as an attachment that could be placed under or ontop of vehicles to counter the weight of the vehicle and any cargo its carying. Now imagine if this was done with powerfull permanent magnets and turned sideways and placed in an electric generator and had enough strength to pass through the magnetic fields as it propelled itself forwards with its own magnetic pulling force. -Signed AMA-
+ron hous I came here to say that too. Thorium is so abundant, produces hardly any waste, and is safe. It wont explode and have a nuclear melt down. All new reactors should only use thorium.
+Leo Freihofer your f'n crazy...been flapping ur guns about this for decades... toxic, expensive, uninsurable, and where are they? solar/blows ur crap away.
+Dana Pearson solar is so inefficient. First of all, you need a huge amount of solar panels to produce a significant amount of energy. Meaning tens of square miles, even hundreds. Not only this, but if the sun isn't shining, whether it's cloudy, wintry, foggy, or nighttime, solar will get even more diluted, to the point that something else needs to fill its place. Solar is good on, say, a family scale. To power the world? No chance. A standard 1,000 megawatt nuclear power plant that takes up 1 square mile produces more power than 30 square miles of solar panels. And a thorium plant can be scaled up or down, to the tiny ten megawatt range, to the thousands of megawatts. It is not cheap, granted, but because it burns about 98% of the thorium into energy, it is ultra-efficient. On the other hand, solar, and only the really expensive panels, can harvest maybe 20% of incoming solar energy if you're lucky. Thorium is not toxic; its radiation is not high enough to be at all dangerous. It is not weaponizable - it does not have a critical mass as uranium does - and because thorium is often already liquidized, at least in the molten salt and thorium reactors, it cannot have a meltdown. Also, the only emission is water. And last I check, water is pretty non-toxic.
+ron hous Fission energy is really quite weak in comparison to fusion. No one wants to dump billions $ into fission energy when fusion will take it's place 20 years later.
We may be able to tap the trees of entire forests for electricity. The idea would be along the same lines as when copper and zinc are inserted into citrus fruits in order to tap a DC current from the citric acids. Were trees throughout an entire forest tapped in a similar fashion, a good deal of usable electricity could be produced without harming the trees. Need more be said?
+Kevin Thomas also this doesn't work. Trees aren't filled with citric acids. They have wood, sap, and water. None of them produce a current in the way you are describing. In combination, none of them produce a current in the way you are describing. Cool idea, but I'm sorry to say it doesn't work.
What about Thorium Nuclear. Safe, no long term waste, lot's of cheap fuel. Looks like China or India are going forward with this and will have to teach the world how....................
India is in its advance stage of building thorium nuclear power reactors but electricity production can't start before 2050. Major problem is the cost of the project is more then Rs. 3,492 crore( $5.2 billion ) per year. Electricity generated from it would be sold to the State Electricity Boards at Rs. 4.44 a unit ( $ 0.07 ) India is a developing country and can't put lot of money in R & D but remember the engineers and scientific as good as those in developed countries.We have been to moon and to Mars.We are on a rise. We are Nuclear power and we are peaceful and need little help for developed countries like UK , US, FRANCE, etc
I also hope to see human and animal waste processed for 1) oils for biodiesel, 2) protein for animal food, 3) fiber for biofuel, 4) nitrates for fertilizers, and 5) methane for natural gas fuel. Some of these have been done a little, but as technology gets better, I think we will really be able to turn abundant waste into abundant resources.
1 how would we harness Hawking radiation without any device that we used to harness it get sucked in 2 the amount of money it would take to get all of the parts up there one and get them to you a black hole it's very time-consuming in money straining or at least as of right now 2019.
dragoola69x this plan isnt exactly a power source for our type less than one civilization, its more so a hypothetically way to power planets in the far future. They use the spinning of blackholes and light rays to do “super-radiant scattering” theres an “in a nutshell” video on it. This wont be in our lives for at least a century though.
You know, that's a racist idea. I doubt it will happen. Why not use prisoners worldwide to generate electricity like turning threadmills? Or, what about collecting flatulence gases (farts) from people and animals? In the future, there could be tanks with tubing that plug into your anal orifice ... these could be jewelry like status symbols that people could wear openly and proudly. Further, the gases could be burned to power personal gadgets of all kinds. Also, people would not have to avoid eating food like beans and pizzas or chicharones like they do today. Or, my favorite idea: Breed people down to about the size of Chiquaquas or monkies. I can see where one or two sardines could then feed `an entire family! Think small, humans are monstrously huge. No need for this. Just think , small wives. Mine is a 145# monster that waddles around making me miserable. She can eat a whole doughnut in two bites. In the future wives could be down sized to be gentler, less obnoxious and consume much less than they do today. Just think, a whole PTA meeting could be held in a trailer or motor home. Think small people.
You forgot hemp oil, and liquid thorium reactors. Also NONE of this will ever become main stream until the oil barons have made their last dime on the last drop of crude.
+Edmund Squid XOM already owns power generation plants. Where did you think they were doing ?? They are greedy but not stupid they do have an eye looking at the horizon.
Hemp oil is a biofuel, which he did mention and liquid thorium reactors are similar to spent nuclear fuel reactors that he also mentioned that he omitted it.
Two observations: 1. I don't see why we would need the large space solar panels. The earth surface area of solar panels required to power the whole planet is only 158 miles by 158 miles. That is around 1/4 of the state of Montana. 2. Additionally, they now have wind turbines that don't spin. Its just a large pole in the ground that is shaped specifically to create a vortex of air around it that powers the turbine. This would reduce cost and efficiency, so we can forget about those giant balloons. I am pretty sure this invention is incredibly recent, after this video was published.
Stravo Lukos They are around 35% efficient and can be used for solar, nuclear and fossil fuels so they are very versatile. I put one on the side of my old inefficient gaming pc.
Christi Dea, Stirling engines run on heat. You would need to get your algae to produce heat, so is your plan to dry out the algae and burn it? Good luck with that.
The flying wind turbine is an awesome idea. The tower that holds up normal wind turbines is a tough structure to design. Torsion, harmonics, cost. A big blimp seems more practical, if the wind speeds are high enough.
@@jonibeYT yeah it changes because of the earth’s rotation but field itself goes all the way out into space and so because the field so big on our level it’s technically not moving but at a planetary scale ur right it is moving, so u can harvest energy from it but its obviously highly inefficient
A point that is always missed is a discussion of the total costs from beginning to end use and how much each technology is subsidized. Extraction of many of the elements that go into producing things is one aspect that is usually not considered when coming up with a cost per k/m or other criterion. The environmental impact and health and welfare of workers is almost never considered
No 7 Hydrogen - you got some of it wrong. 1. It produces literally 0 pollution, not almost. (unless you count water as pollution) 2. It is not the reason why nasa is using it. They use it because it is the most efficient fuel to power the rocket, not because it is cleanest. It is lightweight which means the rocket weighs less which means it can go further. 3. Hydrogen existing in combination with other elements is only one of the reasons its not used. More importantly the rest of the world don't use it because it is extremely combustible and dangerous, also because it is very difficult to store. Hydrogen is the smallest atom and H2 is the smallest molecule and it will therefore slowly "leak" through the walls of any container. Much like helium filled balloon will deflate in a few days.
Dude u just forgot India ! We are playing an indispensable role in putting together resources for the fusion reactor.For instance off late indian company L&T just delivered base of the 3,850-tonne cryostat at the core of the system😅
If you consider the Depleted Uranium from enrichment nuclear power plants are even less efficient. Those fast reactors can burn DU as well as spent fuel. Also hydrogen isn't an energy source so it shouldn't be on a video titled "10 Future Energy Sources".
leerman22 It a good way to store energy then you could put in on a ship and transport it frozen in liquid nitrogen, then burn it in a gas turbine for grid power.
***** It takes energy to freeze hydrogen and they don't use liquid nitrogen for that. A CCGT has only 60% efficiency and the process of making hydrogen through electrolysis and freezing is about as inefficient as a combustion engine.
Well it seems to work for iceland though granted they maybe bankrupt and under a pop of 250K. If you live on a volcano geothermal makes all you need en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_Iceland

Elon Musk states that space-based solar is a truly stupid idea because of conversion costs; not to mention launch and maintenance costs. He says, essentially, "you have to figure that I would KNOW about this because I have both a rocket company and a solar company" If some gazillionaire entrepreneur out there wants to make the world sit up and take notice of him AND make a fool of Elon Musk, then he should go ahead and pour his fortune into trying to make space-based solar work PROFITABLY.
+Leutchik People usually don't think about micro meteorites. Large fragile things in space would not work, that means a solar sail, or any unprotected giant mirror. There are tiny rocks and pieces of dust in space that move faster than bullets. I has made tiny rips in space suits before while astronauts were on space walks. Now imagine a fragile object the size of NYC floating around in space, a solar sail or a giant mirror would be torn to shreds in under a year.
+Leutchik Its actually pretty easy to make space-based solar plant profitable. Just make taxpayers pay 120% of its operating costs in govt subsidies and it does not matter how much energy it produces. Things like this are happening over and over again.
Os Cx But it still wouldn't be enough, think about repairs, there are micro meteorites that fly faster than bullets, something that large would become very inefficient very fast. And then you would constantly have to replace the mirrors because they would shatter, which would create more pieces of debris in space, which would cause even more mirrors to break. I realize that your comment was satire. My point is, it would have to be more along the lines of 200%. lol
Of most note: Beyond atmosphere, energy sources/structures. -- The best uses of solar mining, are outside of the atmosphere. ?? An asteroid of over 90% gold, could be best used for: -- Shielding of ships, from solar radiation ? -- Electronics of space vehicles ?

I personally think that fusion will replace all of these due to the fact that only a few reactors could provide more than enough power for the entire planet. It’s also a good idea for long term space travel because it can run on hydrogen the most common element in the universe. Then again it may never happen since it’s so efficient that electricity prices would drop drastically the only real reason to pay an electrical bill after this is to justify the cost of building

I realize that. But to have been born human, and healthy, but just outside a human lifetime from what is looking to be a pretty incredible world. "So close and yet so far". Know what I mean?
I get what you mean but if you compare our world to that of only 20 years ago, it's the amount of change is insane (mainly due to the internet). Imagine another 20 years.

Containment of fusion isn't a problem...
The problem is a stable, lasting reaction that produces a net gain of energy
Something that produces more or close to as much as it puts out
No, containment is also a problem, fusion does in fact produce high energy neutrinos which penetrate the walls of the fusion reactor, damaging it

I know I'm late, but in reality the problem is perspective. We have the most advanced piece of technology imaginable sitting in our sky, it's literally a prerequisite for all of these technologies, but instead of trying to learn more about it we waste our energy building bombs and starting super projects that dont finish. The US spent billions on unfinished nuclear reactors, and the ones in operation still arent being updated despite old technology being the only reason Fukishima was possible. If it werent for people protesting the plants in Japan, Fukishima wouldve been upgraded with a gravity well to prevent meltdowns without requiring a power source. American nuclear infrastructure is deteriorating too, nothing is new and scientists are scarce.

Notice how he never mentioned LFTR, and only mentions junk monkey science. He came kind of close with the fast breeder which are still solid fuel, and have a terrible meltdown track record. I believe every fast breeder that has been tried has either melted down, or was shut down before it did. It just proves humanity is still very much a master slave civilization. Until that is broken, humanity stands no chance at real progress. Energy advances are the biggest threat to the BEAST, 'if you will'. A liquid 'metallic salt' fuel type nuclear reactor is the only correct next move for humanities energy needs!!!!!! For earth that technology has already been discovered but rejected in 1973 due to its disruptive nature to the status quo. Its called LFTR. "It is your only hope" as Princess Leia would say. Sadly, I don't hold out too much hope that humanity will come to this conclusion in time! The biggest problem humanity faces is it's fear to obtain freedom at whatever cost necessary. Just look how fast Islam is spreading. By the way Islam means submit. Terror steals freedom. But freedom destroys terror of any kind. "Freedom is like the Lion. Let it loose. It will defend itself."

You will not be able to mine the moon for Helium 3 without being a LFTR civilization. With LFTR all your transportation will run on cheap to make Hydrogen. LFTR will desalinate ocean water very cheap, then Graphene will come on line for dirt cheap desalination filtration. So on, and so forth. Many many other fantastic life changing technologies will be born out of a LFTR civilization. LFTR is a major threat to the masters over humanity.

Algae may sound good in theory, but the efficiency of algae collecting sunlight and converting into fuel is only a fractional percentage. This means that the cost of getting a biofuel from algae is about $85 per gallon according to recent estimates. This means it is not practical in the long run.

I hope this will be viewed as constructive criticism, as on the whole, I quite enjoyed the video:
a) the item marked "8. Tidal power" does not discuss tidal power, but rather focuses on wave power. These are two very different energy sources, with two very different futures.
b) "7. Hydrogen" is not an energy source, but rather a means of transporting energy. Hydrogen still needs to be manufacutred somewhere, either by use of extreme heat, or by consumption of electricity. Perhaps this item could be replaced by one on Thorium reactors.
So you mean to say fuel is not an energy source

Well, on nuclear evergy, you didn't mention Thorium Liquid Salt reactors which can put out ~95% evergy as direct electricity, also use up nuclear waste (though not as efficiently as as what you already covered) as the reaction process recycles the uranium/plutonium used to start the reaction, and if it gets out of hand there's an emergency draining system that moves the liquid to a cooling chamber solidifying the solution effectively ending the reaction automatically. Then to get it going again you reheat the solution and pump it back into the reactor and you're golden.
Not to mention the "waste" can be used for a very wide variety of medical and industrial applications.
Oh and the amount of Thorium used is miniscule yet generates enormous output. AND Thorium is a waste product of mining (especially in the US) so from decades of this we have a giant resource pool to pull from.
Gavin Alward cant they use the "waste" for medical cancer treatments and 238 is needed very badly by nasa for there space batteries right. meaning if its in space in a sat its not on earth.
John Garvey Yes! In fact I just saw a commercial today for "proton therapy", I think it's what they called it. I can't think of the specific isotope used for the type of treatment right now though. It'd be interesting to find out what they're using and where they get it.
I don't know much about NASA's "space batteries" but I can imagine it'd be useful somewhere.
Also, as far as space goes, if a small scale LFTR was developed it would be near perfect for space travel and powering tech off world; say, a moon base.
And although solar is getting more and more efficient all the time, for any deep space travel you'll need something a bit more sustainable using very limited resources.
Gavin Alward This technology will have to be produced privately because of the vested interests of big business and lobby groups behind our political "leaders ". China has purchased the GE technology from Oak Ridges and is pushing ahead to secure the IP's {international patents}. We may have to produce thorium reactors for a needy country to help wake up the West. At least thorium is plentiful (cheap), and the reactors can be located anywhere , not needing cooling water. Perhaps small encapsulated reactors could be used for transportation .
I completely agree Jake P.Eng.
Both China and India have working Thorium reactors. They will be the next wave of safe nuclear power until the problems with fusion reactors are solved.
You missed thorium based nuclear technology which was first proposed by the inventor of the current light water reactors. It does not depend on uranium fuel, high pressure or produce massive quanities of radioactive waste or weapons grade products. It uses inherently walk away safe liquid salt, high temperature low pressure design.
seems thorium reactors can clean up the existing waste too
Helped a lot with my presentation about future energy and technology. Thanks a lot man! Very good video :)
Happy to see so many people discussing Thorium and next generation reactors. Especially molten salt reactors. This is very viable technology that needs rapid development. This could be an interim option until other power sources are properly developed. Not something the oil, coal and gas frackers want you to know about.
The solar power plant in California that is mentioned at about the 7:26 mark is one of the most expensive energy power plants, that if it was not prompted up by the government, would have been shut down by now or never would have been built. It is the perfect example of how we can build something as a proof of concept, and then we should learn that it was a bad idea and never do it again. It cost about 10,000 times more to buy electricity from that power plant than it does from more traditional solar power plants. It is also important to state that solar is still the most expensive way to generate electricity. Also, growing by 500% or f times is saying that solar went from .26% of the U.S. energy production to 1.3% of the U.S. energy production, which is not a bad thing, I just think that we should be honest with the solar growth. I cold discuss many other points in this video, however, it is best to say that there are many cool ideas out there, however, the technologies are not ready for massive implementation.

Thorium is another great source of energy and much cleaner than uranium.

+Kavi Arasan You're very welcome, Kavi!
i. kavi ,
I just added my opinion on why enumeration of alternative sources of energy is not a winning arguement. The adversary is the rich billionaires who own the Coal and Oil industries. They tell their workers that the global warming is a hoax and that their workers will be unemployed very soon if because of introduction of these alternative sources of energy. These workers who are largely losing their jobs should be hired and trained to build rechargeable batteries and PV cells so they can be assured that their livelihood is respected by the new industry. Stop preaching logics to these workers. They feel worthless if they are not working and who could reassure them practically? The new barons of the alternative sources of energy! Your audience should not be Me! It should be those whose jobs are being on the verge of being wiped out! Retraining of the Coal and Oil miners is money well spent on the road to a new and viable alternative to energy. Go for it!

+LRoy Shreding You do know that is bogus right? Thorium is very rare (So expensive, and limited).
Dale DeWitt Umm, what did I say that was false?
We all want clean safe and Powerful Energy. But the powers at be don't. They want to stay on Big Oil until its all gone, because they are heavily invested . Anything that threatens their plan will be blocked ,hidden , ridiculed and Erased ..
Dale DeWitt Couldve sworn I watched a video stating the exact opposite. I got things to do atm, I'll find it later.
***** Yep for good or bad the military industreal complex has their hands on nearly every part of modern life. Depleted uranium projectiles ,plutonium fusion warheads. Also If development goes down certain paths secrets will reveal truths that will make the petrol economy obsolete ...
Put solar panels on that sky turbine. Put them on everything! Awesome video thanks so much, using this for grade 10 tech class.
Some of these ideas have some caveats too. How much it takes time/energy/natural resources to produce new energy in reality. Long time periods, adding up the whole supply chain cost.
Using pressure to make electricity is called Piezoelectricity and it'd been used for a LONG time. Piezoelectric Plates are cheap , and used in pressure sensor ... It's crystal power !
"Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (such as crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins) in response to applied mechanical stress. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure and latent heat."
One Product that can generate electricity if you walk on it is called the Pavagen tile, if we could put this on roads, it could generate a lot of electricity if cars go over it.

I was quite surprised with the floating wind turbine ! a very neat idea ! oh, you missed thorium fission reactors-molten thorium salt for the fuel which could very easily be up and running before Fusion...what's quite exciting is that all the developers going for fusion now have a new more powerful superconductor to play with, it makes the magnetic field that confines the hot plasma fuel much stronger and thus more able to sustain the reaction in a more compact configuration
The last one is the ultimate source of energy.
I would argue that the ultimate source would be anti-matter, if we, one day, can tap into this, and find an effective way to either store it or use it as we produce it. If you wanna know more on the subject just research anti-matter. This is, by far, the biggest source of pure energy that our current physics know of. Here's a simple to understand text about the subject: www.thoughtco.com/matter-antimatter-power-on-star-trek-3072119
The "nuclear fusion" image at 5:28 is actually an experimental fusion reactor at one of the Department of Energy labs (Sandia).
Thank you to The Daily Conversation for giving good information.
You missed "Thorium" Reactors. We never needed to use Uranium, except that our military wanted to build bombs and you can't build bombs with Thorium. They needed the reactors to make enriched Uranium and Plutonium, to make even more powerful bombs.
I'd like to hear updates and/or new developments on the topics you covered a year or two years ago, such as this video about energy sources, the video about city megaprojects around the world, and so on.
Good idea, will do.
I think you should have included energy that can be generated through Thorium. It very less radioactive with it half of only 8-9 minutes as compared to years in case of tradition fission reactors.

@@4notron 'I believe every fast breeder that has been tried has either melted down, or was shut down before it did.' I don't think a fast breeder has ever 'melted down'. One near Detroit did partially melt a couple of fuel rods, but was repaired and put back into service. No radiation was released, and nobody was harmed. Russia has two large fast reactors providing power, and last month signed a contract to build some in China. India has a small demonstration one, and has a large power reactor almost ready for service. There are currently no reactors running on thorium, though a few did so in the sixties and seventies, and there has never been a power producing molten salt reactor.
Several promising developments. I expected that the high cost of creating Hydrogen would have been mentioned as well
The algae bio fuel is revolutionary not only can it provide power but also clean out sewage it's a double whammy a two bird one stone

You missed Anti-matter energy, and thorium
Why miss buoyancy power and gravity power?
Molten salt reactors like mentioned in the video are mostly associated with the use of thorium (you can also use uranium, but thorium is more efficient and safer). And anti-matter energy won't be available in our lifetime, we don't even know how to get large amounts of anti-matter that we could use. I feel a little bit sad because of this because as soon as we are able to use anti-matter as an energy source, we should be able to make interstellar travel possible.

Step 1: Get hollowed out cube.
Step 2: Securely attach magnet to inner bottom of hollowed out cube.
Step 3: Place a lever on inside bottom of cube behind the magnet thats securely attached to inside bottom of cube so that one side of the lever is pointing towards you and hanging over the magnet.
Step 4: Attach a vertical bar to the top side of the part of the lever that is not hanging over magnet witch is securely attached to inner bottom of cube. Make sure the bar goes all the way up to the inner top of the cube barley touching it.
Step 5: Securely attach a magnet to the side of the lever that is hanging over the magnet that is attached to the inner botttom of cube.
Note: Magnets need to be facing each other with attracting poles N,S or S,N
Note: The lever is going to have to be realy close to the magnet on inner bottom of cube because of how close those magnetic fields need to be to interact. But not so close that magnets can touch.
The magnet on top connected to lever is pulling the magnet on inner bottom of cube towards it and since the magnet on inner bottom of cube is connected to cube, this pulling force acts as a lifting force. Now at the same time the magnet on inner bottom of cube is pulling the magnet on top downwards BUT the magnet on top is connected to the lever so any downwards pulling force is being converted mechanicaly by the lever into upwards lifting force. Now if you know anything about magnets you now that there are magnets powerfull enough to lift far more weight then just there own. So essentialy this divice is exploiting the powerfull pulling force of magnets by mechanicaly transforming its magnetic pulling force into mechanical lifting force through the clever utilization of a lever, and walla stuff can be made to fly. Imagine if the magnets in this experiment where electro magnets so the ammount of electrical current going into them determined the ammount of lifting force that it would have. Now imagine this system being used as an attachment that could be placed under or ontop of vehicles to counter the weight of the vehicle and any cargo its carying. Now imagine if this was done with powerfull permanent magnets and turned sideways and placed in an electric generator and had enough strength to pass through the magnetic fields as it propelled itself forwards with its own magnetic pulling force. -Signed AMA-
And here we are, 5 years later and we're burning more fossil fuels than ever before
Dave Balmada we eventually run out though, hopefully
But then we can’t build all the cool new renuable stations so we can harvest all the energy
i think the thorium reactor should have been in the top 3.
+ron hous I came here to say that too. Thorium is so abundant, produces hardly any waste, and is safe. It wont explode and have a nuclear melt down. All new reactors should only use thorium.
+Leo Freihofer your f'n crazy...been flapping ur guns about this for decades... toxic, expensive, uninsurable, and where are they? solar/blows ur crap away.
+Dana Pearson Solar is okay but it won't power cities fully all parts of the world. Fusion is still years away.
+Dana Pearson solar is so inefficient. First of all, you need a huge amount of solar panels to produce a significant amount of energy. Meaning tens of square miles, even hundreds. Not only this, but if the sun isn't shining, whether it's cloudy, wintry, foggy, or nighttime, solar will get even more diluted, to the point that something else needs to fill its place. Solar is good on, say, a family scale. To power the world? No chance. A standard 1,000 megawatt nuclear power plant that takes up 1 square mile produces more power than 30 square miles of solar panels. And a thorium plant can be scaled up or down, to the tiny ten megawatt range, to the thousands of megawatts. It is not cheap, granted, but because it burns about 98% of the thorium into energy, it is ultra-efficient. On the other hand, solar, and only the really expensive panels, can harvest maybe 20% of incoming solar energy if you're lucky. Thorium is not toxic; its radiation is not high enough to be at all dangerous. It is not weaponizable - it does not have a critical mass as uranium does - and because thorium is often already liquidized, at least in the molten salt and thorium reactors, it cannot have a meltdown. Also, the only emission is water. And last I check, water is pretty non-toxic.
+ron hous Fission energy is really quite weak in comparison to fusion. No one wants to dump billions $ into fission energy when fusion will take it's place 20 years later.
We may be able to tap the trees of entire forests for electricity. The idea would be along the same lines as when copper and zinc are inserted into citrus fruits in order to tap a DC current from the citric acids. Were trees throughout an entire forest tapped in a similar fashion, a good deal of usable electricity could be produced without harming the trees. Need more be said?
+Kevin Thomas Um yes. COST ineffective.
+Kevin Thomas also this doesn't work. Trees aren't filled with citric acids. They have wood, sap, and water. None of them produce a current in the way you are describing. In combination, none of them produce a current in the way you are describing. Cool idea, but I'm sorry to say it doesn't work.
Besides we'll be cutting them all down soon
What about Thorium Nuclear. Safe, no long term waste, lot's of cheap fuel. Looks like China or India are going forward with this and will have to teach the world how....................
Not as simple as you might think. Do a little research and you'll see it has its own set of downfalls.
***** says:
"What about Thorium Nuclear..."
==
Google, "Thorium hype"
You'll get eyeful.
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
LFTRs are the future for sure
Rangifulla
Doesn't read replies, comments stupidity.
India is in its advance stage of building thorium nuclear power reactors but electricity production can't start before 2050. Major problem is the cost of the project is more then Rs. 3,492 crore( $5.2 billion ) per year. Electricity generated from it would be sold to the State Electricity Boards at Rs. 4.44 a unit ( $ 0.07 ) India is a developing country and can't put lot of money in R & D but remember the engineers and scientific as good as those in developed countries.We have been to moon and to Mars.We are on a rise. We are Nuclear power and we are peaceful and need little help for developed countries like UK , US, FRANCE, etc
Can't wait to see it all
I also hope to see human and animal waste processed for 1) oils for biodiesel, 2) protein for animal food, 3) fiber for biofuel, 4) nitrates for fertilizers, and 5) methane for natural gas fuel. Some of these have been done a little, but as technology gets better, I think we will really be able to turn abundant waste into abundant resources.
the fast reactor has been around since the 70's the first one was the DFR in Dunray scotland. your way behind the curve bro...
You know black holes can be a greate energy source
1 how would we harness Hawking radiation without any device that we used to harness it get sucked in 2 the amount of money it would take to get all of the parts up there one and get them to you a black hole it's very time-consuming in money straining or at least as of right now 2019.
dragoola69x this plan isnt exactly a power source for our type less than one civilization, its more so a hypothetically way to power planets in the far future. They use the spinning of blackholes and light rays to do “super-radiant scattering” theres an “in a nutshell” video on it. This wont be in our lives for at least a century though.
So is a Dyson sphere but it's not possible right now never mind black holes
black holes will be the last source of energy when every other source has been used up
You know, that's a racist idea. I doubt it will happen.
Why not use prisoners worldwide to generate electricity like turning threadmills?
Or, what about collecting flatulence gases (farts) from people and animals? In the future, there could be tanks with tubing that plug into your anal orifice ... these could be jewelry like status symbols that people could wear openly and proudly. Further, the gases could be burned to power personal gadgets of all kinds. Also, people would not have to avoid eating food like beans and pizzas or chicharones like they do today.
Or, my favorite idea: Breed people down to about the size of Chiquaquas or monkies. I can see where one or two sardines could then feed `an entire family! Think small, humans are monstrously huge. No need for this.
Just think , small wives. Mine is a 145# monster that waddles around making me miserable. She can eat a whole doughnut in two bites. In the future wives could be down sized to be gentler, less obnoxious and consume much less than they do today. Just think, a whole PTA meeting could be held in a trailer or motor home.
Think small people.
You forgot hemp oil, and liquid thorium reactors. Also NONE of this will ever become main stream until the oil barons have made their last dime on the last drop of crude.
+Edmund Squid XOM already owns power generation plants. Where did you think they were doing ?? They are greedy but not stupid they do have an eye looking at the horizon.
Oil is just to precious and usefull, just burn it is stupid ...
Hemp oil is a biofuel, which he did mention and liquid thorium reactors are similar to spent nuclear fuel reactors that he also mentioned that he omitted it.
sure that's why Elon Musk is a $Billionaire because he waited for oil barons to sell the last drop of petroleum.

That was a very well made documercial .The info was concise and comprehensive. Well Done!
Listening in 2020, the first line goes "it's a really exciting time to be alive." Me: "is it?"
😂
Two observations:
1. I don't see why we would need the large space solar panels. The earth surface area of solar panels required to power the whole planet is only 158 miles by 158 miles. That is around 1/4 of the state of Montana.
2. Additionally, they now have wind turbines that don't spin. Its just a large pole in the ground that is shaped specifically to create a vortex of air around it that powers the turbine. This would reduce cost and efficiency, so we can forget about those giant balloons. I am pretty sure this invention is incredibly recent, after this video was published.
Irradiance is more concentrated as you get closer to the sun and there are no clouds to block it. Yes space is an issue as well.
liquid thorium? you missed the most realistic energy source...
That algae thing is pretty exciting. I wonder if I could dry out algae and use it to fuel a massive Sterling Engine?
+Christi Dea I haven't seen where Stirlings are that efficient yet.
Stravo Lukos
They are around 35% efficient and can be used for solar, nuclear and fossil fuels so they are very versatile. I put one on the side of my old inefficient gaming pc.
Christi Dea, Stirling engines run on heat. You would need to get your algae to produce heat, so is your plan to dry out the algae and burn it? Good luck with that.
Very good idea....many many thanks intelligent engineers #1 love u space x...
It won't be built for many reasons, but the primary one is it's a potent weapon.
What are you talking about.
you missed thorium.
Update from 2020, instead of those fancy power sources, we rather have a global pandemic
it is obviously Thorium powered reactors
Printer to get back 0)is
This should be acknowledged by all of us human beings!
The flying wind turbine is an awesome idea. The tower that holds up normal wind turbines is a tough structure to design. Torsion, harmonics, cost. A big blimp seems more practical, if the wind speeds are high enough.
Why would the blimp and by extension the cables holding it in place be exempt from the engineering challenges that towers face?

Ngl, looks like the cover to one of those minecraft books
Yeah!

You forgot the Earth's Magnetic Field!
Cant produce electricity through a constant magnetic field
@@yungmaz13 it does change, i never heard of gaining energy from that though
@@jonibeYT yeah it changes because of the earth’s rotation but field itself goes all the way out into space and so because the field so big on our level it’s technically not moving but at a planetary scale ur right it is moving, so u can harvest energy from it but its obviously highly inefficient
@@yungmaz13 It is also moving relative to earth.
@@jonibeYT well yeah no one said it wasn’t
Hey I'm from future the world isn't upgrading, we are begin more worse.
A point that is always missed is a discussion of the total costs from beginning to end use and how much each technology is subsidized. Extraction of many of the elements that go into producing things is one aspect that is usually not considered when coming up with a cost per k/m or other criterion. The environmental impact and health and welfare of workers is almost never considered
No 7 Hydrogen - you got some of it wrong.
1. It produces literally 0 pollution, not almost. (unless you count water as pollution)
2. It is not the reason why nasa is using it. They use it because it is the most efficient fuel to power the rocket, not because it is cleanest. It is lightweight which means the rocket weighs less which means it can go further.
3. Hydrogen existing in combination with other elements is only one of the reasons its not used. More importantly the rest of the world don't use it because it is extremely combustible and dangerous, also because it is very difficult to store. Hydrogen is the smallest atom and H2 is the smallest molecule and it will therefore slowly "leak" through the walls of any container. Much like helium filled balloon will deflate in a few days.
HEMP is the best ethonol producing
Dude u just forgot India ! We are playing an indispensable role in putting together resources for the fusion reactor.For instance off late indian company L&T just delivered base of the 3,850-tonne cryostat at the core of the system😅
If you consider the Depleted Uranium from enrichment nuclear power plants are even less efficient. Those fast reactors can burn DU as well as spent fuel.
Also hydrogen isn't an energy source so it shouldn't be on a video titled "10 Future Energy Sources".
leerman22 It a good way to store energy then you could put in on a ship and transport it frozen in liquid nitrogen, then burn it in a gas turbine for grid power.
*****
It takes energy to freeze hydrogen and they don't use liquid nitrogen for that. A CCGT has only 60% efficiency and the process of making hydrogen through electrolysis and freezing is about as inefficient as a combustion engine.
Well it seems to work for iceland though granted they maybe bankrupt and under a pop of 250K. If you live on a volcano geothermal makes all you need en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_Iceland
*****
Iceland is very small, and I only see their buses doing it. It's just a placebo like biomass. From electricity to wheels you might as well just burn gasoline. tonyseba.com/toyota-vs-tesla-can-hydrogen-fuel-cell-vehicles-compete-with-electric-vehicles/
well how else do you puy the electricity into a car from a geothermal power source?
Imagine if every gym had energy producing cardio machines. Human powered treadmills, ellipticals, bikes and stair masters already exist. That’s something that every gym should have in the future.
VERY VERY GOOD DOCUMENTARY
what about LFTR?
what about thorium reactors? as far as i know they are a more effective version of the normal nuclear reactors.
Please update your information to 2019.
LFTR technology long-term is the most sustainable, economic and carbon-free energy generation system to date.
The first country to mass-produce these (100mW) portable units will reach their sustainable goals!
My list
1) Solar
2) Wind
3) Thorium
4) Micro Algae
5) Fusion
6) Tidal
7) Hydro
8) Geo
9) Nuclear Fission
10) Movement

Thorium Fusion Mix!
Very good demonstration !!
An update would be appreciated.
The methods mentioned,
and others, have improved greatly.
This is the amount of DPHS boys who see this

Elon Musk states that space-based solar is a truly stupid idea because of conversion costs; not to mention launch and maintenance costs. He says, essentially, "you have to figure that I would KNOW about this because I have both a rocket company and a solar company"
If some gazillionaire entrepreneur out there wants to make the world sit up and take notice of him AND make a fool of Elon Musk, then he should go ahead and pour his fortune into trying to make space-based solar work PROFITABLY.
+Leutchik There isn't enough billionaires to pull it off.
+Leutchik There were a lot of great ideas an innovations, but the space-based solar station is beyond dumb.
+Leutchik People usually don't think about micro meteorites. Large fragile things in space would not work, that means a solar sail, or any unprotected giant mirror. There are tiny rocks and pieces of dust in space that move faster than bullets. I has made tiny rips in space suits before while astronauts were on space walks. Now imagine a fragile object the size of NYC floating around in space, a solar sail or a giant mirror would be torn to shreds in under a year.
+Leutchik Its actually pretty easy to make space-based solar plant profitable. Just make taxpayers pay 120% of its operating costs in govt subsidies and it does not matter how much energy it produces. Things like this are happening over and over again.
Os Cx But it still wouldn't be enough, think about repairs, there are micro meteorites that fly faster than bullets, something that large would become very inefficient very fast. And then you would constantly have to replace the mirrors because they would shatter, which would create more pieces of debris in space, which would cause even more mirrors to break.
I realize that your comment was satire. My point is, it would have to be more along the lines of 200%. lol
Very interesting I like the conception the designs are quite qualified but I still feel there's something deeper that is not seen
Geothermal looks the best option to me. Its most natural. We don't need to do anything it is just there for us to take.
the picture at 5:32 is actually a nuclear fusion prototype.
Thorium Molten-Salt Reactor.
1.4 K dislikes are from Saudi Arabia :)
hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of most note:
Beyond atmosphere,
energy sources/structures.
-- The best uses of solar mining,
are outside of the atmosphere.
?? An asteroid of over 90% gold,
could be best used for:
-- Shielding of ships,
from solar radiation ?
-- Electronics of space vehicles ?
