Sounds interesting. He seems to be heavily invested in that kind of thing - wasn't he one of the investors in those micro-nuclear plants they've got buried in the desert?
It is the beginning of a solution at least for one of the trickier areas where previously no obvious carbon free path existed. The clever bit is that they have made the efficiencies through the better use of computing power rather than capital outlay. Micro adjustments of the mirrors are calculated and made in real time so they never waver from the target for a microsecond. Computing power is getting cheaper by the day so it was a good way to approach the problem.
It seems to have been shelved for now. The theory was that lots of small, underground reactors could be safer and more efficient than one large one. I think they claimed to be able to get as small as around 10m3.
Love that truck. Much better looking than any pickup on the market at the moment.
Nothing signals poor life choices like owning a pickup
Depends where you live and the work you do.
Those are two of the choices
Really? I think it looks like something from an old video game. I can't see too many of the good ol' boys liking the styling.
There is flooding everywhere mate. You can see it dramatically in some places say like Miami. Average sea level there is up 6 inches in the last decade or two. This manifests as more frequent flooding downtown but eventually, it will engulf Miami (even though they are raising the roads - narrator: it won't work). Venice is another example of something similar. New York last year got hit badly too. Places susceptible to flooding will flood more frequently with storm swells but low lying areas are doomed and will eventually get overwhelmed.
