00:00 This video will be about new technologies in nuclear energy, 4th generation reactors, nuclear fusion, and political environmentalism in energy. In this description, I will also add some information that I forgot to mention in the video.
Journalists sometimes spread misinformation about nuclear energy.
Nuclear power plants are a key solution to the climate crisis – they do not produce CO2.
Misinformation about nuclear waste, that there is a problem with its long-term storage: nuclear waste can be recycled for use in current conventional power plants (there are already companies that recycle in this way), although such fuel is more expensive. Furthermore, nuclear waste can be used in 4th generation reactors without any processing. Nuclear waste will be worth its weight in gold in the future, and the biggest nonsense is to build so-called long-term storage facilities for several hundred years.
Unfortunately, 4th generation nuclear power plants are currently only used in nuclear submarines and have not yet been introduced for commercial use. Experimental reactors of this type are quite numerous all over the world. With 4th generation reactors, the radioactivity of nuclear waste drops to the level of ordinary rock in nature after only 300 years, whereas with waste from current power plants, radioactivity drops after thousands of years. While current power plants burn only four percent of the fuel, a 4th generation reactor can burn fuel with 95% efficiency, which is a huge difference. The safety of 4th generation reactors is incomparably higher. While current reactors operate at approximately 400 degrees Celsius, 4th generation reactors operate at a temperature of around 900 degrees. While current reactors are most often cooled by helium, 4th generation reactors are cooled by liquid metal, such as lead or bismuth, which radically increases the efficiency of the reactor. The advantage of 4th generation reactors is the possibility of very cheap hydrogen production from water due to the high temperatures at which certain chemical reactions can take place. Hydrogen is the fuel of the future and can completely replace oil. Hydrogen-powered cars already exist today, and their waste product is water.
09:37 I saw a German disinformation propaganda documentary that attacked nuclear energy because of nuclear waste, but not a word about the possibility of recycling or about 4th generation reactors. German Greens. Eco-terrorists. It is a big mistake if environmental policy and environmental activism are not guided by scientific knowledge, but by misguided ideologies.
The advantage of 4th generation reactors is that they can be quite small, easily portable, and can be mass-produced (currently, each power plant is a prototype), which can radically reduce their price. The reason why they have not yet been introduced into commercial use may be the poor management of such companies.
14.55 Fuel cells vs. electric cars. While an electric car takes a long time to charge and its weight is significantly increased by the battery, and the battery takes a long time to charge, refueling a fuel cell car is very fast. Storing hydrogen in the form of ammonia. Even conventional gasoline engines can be modified to burn ammonia. Fuel cells can also run on ammonia. The waste product is water and nitrogen.
18:12 Political ecology. PS party. The introduction of CO2 taxes is unreasonable from several points of view.
20:12 nuclear fusion – it is practically free energy. Failure of the management of such companies. This “free energy” is financially supported by the European Union. While a conventional nuclear reactor operates at a temperature of 400 degrees, a fusion reactor operates at several million degrees Celsius. EU support for fusion research is very significant, there is even an entire website operated by the EU on nuclear fusion https://fusionforenergy.europa.eu/ .
27:25 about free energy.
32:12 Why is it so difficult to implement innovation in practice? If people practiced a different spiritual system, it would help, it would help increase intelligence. Telepathically consulting with beings from other dimensions. If even 1% of people worked on themselves spiritually correctly and intensively, they would illuminate the darkness of the majority of people and the mentioned innovations could be implemented.
34:50 misguided environmentalism in politics, and misguided activists. Even in Germany, they failed to close all nuclear power plants because it would have ended in a blackout. The Germans are replacing nuclear power plants with coal.
39:54 About the PS party. PS has elected a new ecological chairman, Juraj Hipš. The controversial Erik Baláž is coming to the forefront even more. Despite the great positives of this party, the worst possible people in the party were elected to the party leadership.
