It was very much our pleasure, Professor Ruzic! Thank you for a wonderful conversation and teaching us what you've learned about life, love, physics, and everything in between!
@@uiuctalkshowI loved his perspective on religious teachings and how seeking knowledge is always good. His explanation of all the reasons for the development of the bomb was also quite insightful!
Whats holding us back from whole-home power supplies? What I mean is: whats keeping us from generating all the power we need at the place where its needed? Rooftop solar, micro-hydro, kinetic recapture are all things that already exist and micro-nuclear is just around the corner (AFAIK).
Had Grand Coulee Dam not been constructed, there would have not been enough electricity to process the aluminum Boeing needed to build fighter aircraft and bombers during WWII.
@@uiuctalkshowI live near Seattle where we have lots of Hydro. Central Washington would be a perfect place for nuclear plants. Unfortunately the controversy surrounding the Hanford waste facility has soured many Washingtonians on nuclear. I am originally from New Jersey where 50% of the electricity is generated by only two rather old nuclear plants. You can be sure that some of that power goes to nearby Pennsylvania and New York. When you consider the population density of that area, you would think the solution is obvious.
@@MultiPetercool Interestingly enough, most of the most promising nuclear energy companies/startups are already in Washington. How did you end up in Seattle?

much awaited!
enjoy!
Thank you so much for a great interview. You guys are really good at this!
It was very much our pleasure, Professor Ruzic! Thank you for a wonderful conversation and teaching us what you've learned about life, love, physics, and everything in between!
When are we gonna see more of your lectures on RUclips? I've watched all the ones that are already there and am thirsty for more!
@@insanitysportal6692 Definitely this Fall, and then more regularly. I am building a team of undergraduates to help me!
@@insanitysportal6692 More coming up this Fall
What an interesting guy! Its such a blessing to have him where he is in the NPRE program
Truly! Let us know what stood out the most for you in the conversation. Would be super curious!!

@@skybailey1781 His perspective on always seeking knowledge was refreshing, curiosity!
Affordable energy is the foundation of innovation and prosperity. Not another product that is controlled for control.
1000%. What do you think the future of affordable energy will be?

Interesting point. Arguably, we need lots and lots of electricity today, what will we build? More dams? nuclear reactors? What do you think?

How did you end up in Seattle?
I watched the whole thing. So that's 3.
3?
Thank you!
Talk to me. I have invented an alternative to gasoline.
