A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I had to laugh at this one lol
Guess god wanted us to get malaria because he created mosquitos? /s
I watched a docu about one fusion startup in the US. They're skipping the boiling water step and converting the energy directly to electricity.
I dont remember the mechanics of how though. But they reportedly are the closest to net positive.
Helion energy. But i don't think their approach has been verified yet. So take it with a grain of salt.
They have been trying to do this for a long time I think and have gotten very close. At least that’s what I thought
Fun Fact: Since 2006-2007 Uruguay’s power infrastructure has mostly relied on green energy, making up over 90% of their power infrastructure, also making them fully self sustaining power wise
In Canada (2023), renewables make up 66% and nuclear makes up 13% (about 80% together). That's also pretty good.
yeah some countries have that, like sweden and austria. the reason is because they're very mountaineous areas, so there's a lot of water power to harvest. in germany, which is really flat, that would have been impossible with water alone.
fully self sustaining power wise
Damn, imagine that.
Talk about national security.
only 3.4 M people, little industry
Now we just need solar boilers.
To boil water.
Driving by the one in California was always a trip. You could see the lines of sunlight being reflected from the mirrors in the air; it was so bright.
