Oooor…. Nuclear

Biochar instead!

You didn't mention anything about using it for domestic solar storage

did i hear you correctly that this system can only provide 4 hrs of power after the renewable energy input stops coming in. In effect only pushing that duck curve 4 hrs down the road. Perhaps i much large system can last longer?

No thanks. Of coarse we do not go back to medieval techniques ....

Plants need a lobby to put more CO2 into the air. Hey, we eat plants don't we? We should all lobby for it!

WHY NOT USE SMRs??? SERIOUSLY STOP THE DELUSION

co2 feeds the world, prove me wrong

About 2009 a friend (invested heavy in lithium) and I in a conversation about lithium value...I said "Who knows, Sodium could replace lithium ions?"

The Lithium Ion crown has slipped because it is not the answer for electric powered vehicles that can fill the range of applications that ICE vehicle do. We are faced at present with accepting vehicles that are limited in their use or continuing to drive vehicles that use fossil fuel. Outside of the BEV sphere there has been a dramatic increase in waste collection fires here in Australia because of the higher volume of Li-ion batteries being thrown in domestic garbage. The insurance industry is getting more and more concerned about the fire risks with batteries in general and this is now affecting homeowners wanting to add battery storage to their rooftop solar. If ever the silver bullet of solid state batteries was needed it is now and not in five or ten ears.

Brilliant

"It really likes to oxidize with air at high temperature." Most of us call that "catching on fire".

This is so related too what has just been announced by the main opposition party in australia as they want to go full nuclear and put australia in debt for the next 100 years to further their political control ! They want to replace all the coal fired furnaces with nuclear big and small modules and just plug them into the network at the retired power stations utilising the steam turbines in the same manner . This is the perfect retort to this dangerous madman Dutton and his lackeys !

China stole also patents, like LFP batteries.

In all these electrification videos I sincerely miss the comments of the looming copper deficiency. They all talk all about promising technologies that should save the day but this show stopper is always treated as a foot Note!

We do not want 1000's and 1000's of hectares of solar panels.

Quality educational videos come from this channel. 🏆

I’ve been saying for years to set up Sodium ion battery mfr plant near a desalination plant. Desalination is a growing need for getting drinking water out of the oceans. Problem is the sodium gets dumped back in thr ocean and becomes to high in sodium killing the eco system. This is a win win option. Because of the inherent problems with sodium vs lithium batteries, the use of sodium for stationary batteries is ideal.

This sounds like it might work for energy intensive industries like electric clinkerisation at cement works, electric arc steel furnaces, aluminium smelters, or electric glass manufacturing. Even oil refineries use steam in their processes 🤷‍♂.

*Chinese subsidies if they exist, are subsidies for not only local Chinese but consumers GLOBALLY. Why is that bad for other countries? I don't thank my govt for the cheaper car. I thank the Chinese Govt!*

DAVE, DAVID, DAVID, -------- EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION ------ ACROSS THE BLOODY PLANET!! ----- Democracy alone has far more poorly educated than even reasonably educated. ---- for Goodness’s sake now switch your mind to the communist countries where the masses are practically uneducated Once you get that turned around, then, just maybe, we will be able to get the Planet out of the Ditch!!!

China just had 22.,000 EV fires in one week. Why would anyone want to copy them?

Brilliant!

About half of all Europeans were killed by the plague in the 1300s. If half of all Europeans are killed by climate change it will be a disaster similar to the plague. Those left will pick themselves up, dust themselves off and start all over again.

Did China concrete production from.2011 2013 actually cause Climate Change? So China could benefit from EV Revolution? 3:03

At 7:51 we see a study of climate change effects on world food trade networks for the years 2070 to 2099. Do these nerds actually think that they can predict anything 45 to 75 years in advance? There couldn't be much of a near term crises coming if world trade networks will still be operating 75 years from now. One thing I know for sure is that a food crisis 75 years from now is not going to kill me.

Thank you. In Australia, the opposition has just announced that if they get elected, they'll build seven reactors, the first to be completed by 2035. In the meantime, I understand that they support the ongoing use of gas and coal. They actively campaign against wind and solar. The latest popular phrase is "loss of amenity." Farmers complain that onshore wind farms will spoil their view and residents in some coastal towns are worried that turbines located 20km offshore will also spoil their view.

4:00 - june 2024: 1000 people die in 51.8C heat in Mecca (latitude: 21.4N). Virtually zero humidity required for 50C+ to have a lethal temperature.

I worry about the Chinese military and government, and to what extent cheap goods from China feed them.

On something like an e-bike. Energy density is king. AH/KG. I'm hoping to see other safer chemistries take over. I would trade a little energy density for safety and longevity.

I don't see how China incentivizing the purchase and use of EVs is a problem, unless this whole thing is about keeping prices too high for American consumers to finally get quality vehicles at fair prices. I thought our government was big on green energy; what's with all the pushback?

Again the anti nuclear comments. Rube Goldberg machines all to try to avoid the obvious solution because it hurts your feelgoods.

Yes

If I understand this correctly, then this “battery” will have an overall efficiency of less than 45%?

It’s hardly doomsday

The transmission cost of electricity over long distance is expensive. Do you have the levelized cost of energy for the X-link project? Is it viable economically?

So it’s more efficient to use carbon to store heat, rather than burn it to generate heat. Who knew? Not me for sure.

Conduction is more efficient heat transfer than convection??? You're going to have to explain that, as it's exactly the opposite from what we usually see with heat transfer.

If you think this big. Check out the Sun Cable project in northern Australia. They are planning for 17- 20GW solar with a 4300Km undersea cable to Singapore.

Re-converting thermal plants into storage is such a logical step that I don't know what we are waiting for. I imagine it is a matter of cost, planning and coordination of all relevant actors. The energy market is a really complex one.

Wellvthat encouraging!

Forget the water and use sulfer, one pipe with a u pipe inside.

What I love about this is that we could have had this decades ago. None of the tech here is some advanced material science discovery, the delays on this has all been a way to push back on clean energy. Love it here!

I'm putting all my money into Betamax.

I think this is very good news for a fast change of energy system mainly in China and India. My solution for the climate crisis is something that I call Solar Power Water Management (SPWM). It is based on pump water with solar power up to high altitudes (100-5000 meter) and then use water power stations that bring the water down to the level where food production is possible. Water is spread over a large area. When there is enough rain is the pipe that pump up the water used in revers for power production. Solar power is of cause used direct daytime.

Finally a reasonable idea that actually makes sense.

I'll hold my excitement until I hear of a large scale commercial deployment. That said it does sound promising.

“Current existential predicament” = immediate loss of all credibility.

It's good for repurposing the existing infrastructure but what are the other advantages of this technology e.g. LCOS over the proven BESS?
