Woody: “I’m not sold the infinite power option is better for the environment than filling this beautiful tidal system with concrete“
Came here to say this
Imagine someone saying, "I would like to learn more about this thing before I commit to it" and braindead youtube commenters giving you shit for it. I hope Woody doesn't read comments for his own sake because you people are fucking awful to him for no reason.
How do all of his takes suck so bad, it’s astonishing some times
Woody always with the "well this is how I imagine it works" argument lmfao
Woody frantically googling the democratic talking points against nuclear power…
I’m just gonna assume woody hates nuclear energy…
Exactly..
In an alternate universe Taylor became an actor
molten chloride salt fast reactor, best modern reactor I have seen. hot enough to make liquid fuels straight away. solves most problems..
I believe you.
Lawrence Livermore's MSAHTR is the king as it runs the most efficiently on a brayton cycle, and utilizes its waste heat for hydrogen production through thermochemical water splitting.
They tried solid cooled reactors in submarines too, it worked well, it was just expensive
@@AhHereWeGo subs use seawater for coolant, what is a solid cooled reactor? lol
@@samuelforsyth6374 I’m aware they now use water for coolant, when my grandfather was in subs, they were trying out using a liquid alkaline metal cooling system that didn’t require the coolant to be changed, therefore eliminating the, by comparison, loud water pumps required for the liquid cooled reactors. The project was ultimately scrapped because it was too expensive at the time
Here in Australia people are terrified of nuclear waste so we burn nice clean coal and gas for power… but let’s be honest it does t really matter how we generate power consider we have less than 30 million people
Its not like you guys have tons of open space that no one lives in either. I mean if you did then you could just put a nuclear power plant there and if it had a meltdown nothing too bad would happen.
We also live on the most Geologically stable continents with the raw resource available domestically.
We also export uranium
Na it totally matters, and you guys can perfectly dispose the waste if you dig a deep enough hole, having nuke vs not having nuke is the difference in paying .03-.06 per kilowatt vs .15-.30
@@squigglesmcjr199 Australian makes up .4 % of the total world population and we have a very small industrial sector, so in terms of world pollution we’re pretty irrelevant
For anyone wondering, wind turbines only turn based on demand not just wind. If it’s windy but nobody is using electricity they have to use a brake to keep enough windmills stopped to not overload the power grid with excess electricity.
You can’t generate electricity without having somewhere to send it.
that sounds like a lack of storage issue. though storage wouldnt be an issue if we just went nuclear.
The bay of Funday, between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, has the hivhest tides in the world, at 16m (53ft). There have been numerous proposals to put tidal power plants in the bay but they have all failed to be safe enough for marine life, fishing, commercial shipping, etc to be viable. Perhaps it could worth with the right design though.
I do not trust any of these guys opinion on the global energy crisis
Well yeah you shouldn’t. They don’t know anything about any of this.
Lake Keowe in SC (2 hrs from ATL) is the cooling source of a nuclear plant. It is warm year round and is a popular diving site due to the large population of albino catfish🙃
:O I visited there to go kayaking and there was no mention of that
Also. As far as tidal goes, I work in an engineering office that does industrial water pumps. Many of our products are seawater pumps and they are literally 10 times the cost due to attempting to make the pump survive in such a corrosive environment.
Tidal is cool until you realize that you’re continuously replacing everything
Kyle puts ice cream in the cupboard
Thats my bathroom thats always running hot water is great 😅
Kyle’s wind turbine story is fucked. One of the men was 19 and he jumped the other was 30+ and he passed out and died on the tower
Nuclear power has such a bad name for single nations/regions having made stupid decisions in the past. Give security and education 10x the budget and care and it's still more than worth it compared to anything else. The problem is half-ass-ing it.
Imagine having made a breakthrough in science but still burning fuel like a cavemen because your scared and confused like one.
certified woody moment yet again
Why did the last video go private mid watch and where is the full episode
Taylor said goo
Untill we get fusion down thorium reactor are the best best part the largest sources of thorium are the U.S & Canada so a full switch to thorium would lower our dependence on the Middle East
We already are independent of middle eastern oil. We will still care about the middle east because we're the global hegemon
50 years ago fusion was 50 years away. Nowadays were still 50 years away from mass fusion.
@@bingalz1 sadly your right but it’s hard to innovate when certain world powers would rather keep things the same
Uh where are you getting your numbers from cuz theres a reason why India has been the foremost producer of thorium cores the last 40 years - they have like 80% of the highest concentration thorium deposits on earth.
Also thorium has benefits, but most of it is really not more productive than conventional LWRs (youre literally comparing a neutron cross section in thermal spectrum of 2.3 barns to 2.5 barns between U-233 and U-235 - that is really negligible if your not using neutron multipliers like beryllium in your fuel matrix). The advantages really only come into view when youre talking about using a LFTR (for others - LFTR - Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor, variant of a MSR aka Molten Salt Reactor), in which case the majority of the benefits also have really nothing to do with the fuel and more with the fact that your using a molten salt reactor instead of a light water reactor. I mean thorium cores arent new. The US literally ran commercial LWBRS between the 70s-90s and saw minimal differences in production at the same facilities of Shippingport and Vrain.
It should also be noted that any time you are operating a breeder reactor you still have to use a fissile driver to initiate the reaction, so in fact a LWBR with thorium cores will still in fact use Uranium 235 to start the reaction to produce Uranium 233 from thorium. You could well we dont have to get as much Uranium from the middle east, but then again over 96% of all imported uranium in the US comes from Canada, so tbh I really dont understand your claim that we should switch to thorium to be less reliant on the middle east, when this country is already not really reliant on the middle east for this resource in the first place.
The best option currently are 3+ gen reactors, so big EPR2, AP1000, APKR, CANDU etc reactors, thorium is still in development stage and not commercially available in the near future
it seems it will be the future
Nuclear power has been the answer for decades.
Geothermal
Just nuclear with extra steps.
I thought it was basically confirmed nuclear power is more efficient, better for the environment, etc, but power companies will never give up the current system because nuclear power is also extremely cheap.
Also people don’t like them close by
@@AngelLopez-gq7jy I'll take a plant near me if I get to pay less than my already ridiculous (and rising) power bill.
The building and decommissioning of said power plants also need to be taken into account and that involves a lot of concrete which is notoriously high in carbon emission usage. It has its benefits but it also has its drawbacks. It’s obviously less wasteful for space. You would need an area roughly the size of New Mexico to power the world with electricity from solar panels
They are already accounted for and nuclear still comes out a fraction of the material usage per TWh than renewables
@@filipporiva1864that’s not true. Renewables are still slightly better when it comes to gCO2/KWh.
@@filipporiva1864that’s simply not true.According to information by the IPCC, wind power has the least carbon cost (since they’re cheap and easy to build and contain no concrete) and nuclear power is slightly higher than renewables. I can provide the graph to show it
@@ryanthomas9633 are we talking about different things? By carbon cost you mean co2 emissions per TWh? Because I was talking about material use per TWh, like how much concrete, steel etc you need
All of yall are loking at this backwards. The notion that there is a better source and then the plan is to mass build out just that source is not how any energy network operates. All energy networks run a portfolio of many different sources that meet the needs of that network. Looking at average generalized statistics for an entire nation or even the globe is riiculously misrepreentative of how energy sources are actually evaluated.
The plan should not be that nuclear has good eficency so the US should pursue 100% nuclear. This is a crazy bad idea as it would be for any source. The plan is grow a portfolio of a whole slew of different sources, but with an added emphasis on monitoring and managing lifecycle emissions while taking all other factors into consideration.
Galen Winsor type it in and learn about nuclear from someone with first hand experience not our government.
Here for the lefties thoughts 😂
Taylor fundamentally doesn’t understand how we measure the cost of energy production. He acts like they’re not accounting for downtime of solar. Its literally measured in cost per unit of energy produced
Considering there are several hundred different cost metrics for evaluating the economics of energy production, im gonna go out on a limb and say that your analysis is likely extremely generalized.....
If I had to take a gues youre referring to LCOE metrics, which do in fact have significant flaws such as how they do not account for costs of providing adequate system reliability at scale in relation to network VRE penetration. This problem is in fact the very reason the US DOE doesnt even use LCOE anymore besides general elementary descriptions for cost analysis in generic EIA documents. Instead they utilize LACE , EROI, EPP, and TSVA metrics for intermediary reporting and for interconnection evaluations data is drawn from US National Labs across about 20 different cost metrics.
Dude kyle and taylors cam quality pisses me off
Damn dude listening to 3 people talk about somthing they don't know about is tiring. This better be satire.
I can’t wait until I can have an AI browser plugin that just skips over all the parts where Woody opens his mouth to say anything. Not saying he said anything bad this video just in general I’d like it if he just stfu.

Fission is the future of free energy
Short answer. Yes it is.
Long answer- If the medical/pharma industry cared about humans, they wouldn’t make treatments for you to pay in perpetuity to hopefully live long enough. Same with the energy industry, we already know nuclear is the most efficient and least harmful to the environment with modern engineering and possibly there may be free energy but it eliminates profit which is 100% never going to be disclosed.
how would using nuclear power eliminate profit you'd need a bussiness to both manage the plant and to sell the power nuclear engineers need to be paid too etc etc
The treatments in perpetuity thing is because we a) fundamentally cannot stop your own body from going rogue (cancer) so we can only target it and pray your immune system kicks in to gobble it up; and b) most people don't want to listen to lectures on lifestyle change.
Doctors will see you once per month/trimester/semester/year and tell you to exercise, eat clean and stop smoking and drinking. People don't want to. So they're given treatments.
If people actually had the willpower they'd make a lifestyle change and the treatment would be temporary.
There's stuff like pain and autoimmune diseases we still have to work on but most stuff is curable. People just refuse to listen to doctors until their organs are failing.
A farmer with only 1,000 acres?
Must be a hobbyist.
LA people thinking the only farms are factory farms 😂😂😂
