New, Clear Energy: Russia's Atomic Revolution

With rising demand for energy, especially electricity, the world is in need of new resources. Fossil fuels produce harmful carbon emissions and green technology may never be able to provide a reliable source of renewable energy. Despite ongoing concerns about the safety of nuclear power, it's likely going to play an increasingly large role in satisfying our needs. Several projects being developed in Russia will hopefully help make nuclear's enlarged role as safe as possible. Fast neutron reactors look to be the future of the industry, while an advanced gas-cooled reactor design could have benefits beyond electricity generation. And Russia's plans for a fleet of floating nuclear power stations will bring electricity, heat and fresh water to isolated populations.

Where did all the kooks crawl out from on this thread???

Nuclear doesn't pollute, and the "waste" is 100% reusable.

The only people against nuclear are OIL CORPORATIONS.

The reactor in Japan was Half a Century old, and hit by the 3rd most powerful quake in history.

If you hate "radioactive" so much: don't ever get an x-ray, or use radiotherapy, or go outside when it's sunny.

"Free Energy" only exists in Harry Potter, because it contradicts all of the known laws of physics.

Russia learned from Chernobyl. Russia did a better job at Chernobyl containment (yet it still leaks & the area is deadly) than whats going on in Japan. That said, why risk lives when there are so many other emerging technologies that work? I Imagine the Japanese will soon put their reactors in shut down mode and adopt technology like Rossis E-Cat etc soon.

@hairtogovideos lol... beautiful day here today & I'm using free energy to type this. Go figure Einstein. But you're right... we need to sort out the chemtrail crap too.

@ejbh3160

now they are blocking sun with chemtrails so it cannot be used as a free resource.

@Jsledge85 Existing renewable energy technologies could replace 200% of the energy the UK produce with nukes (which is only 10% of the UK's energy needs)

/watch?v=hlwkEdy1oEs

Other countries could use different mixes of renewables depending on their location & availability..

The best thing about renewables is that there are dozens of different sources of energy & we won't be putting all our eggs in one polluting energy source (which allows energy cartels to over-charge for energy).

@ejbh3160 Alternative energy is a bandaid, it is not a solution.

The abyssal helium refrigeration reactor good idea,it is possible to favour it only. Nuclear reactor producing my price put onto the ship on the other hand not so much winning, since from the beginning a swimmer, so instabill we talk about a platform.

Nuclear is awesome and should be the backbone of the worldwide power grid until we either:

-Discover cold fusion

-Solar get's devolped enough to be everywhere

-something else

@EquusFerrarius "A meltdown occus inside a nuclear reactor," then in melts trough the reactor wall (steel melts at 1450C) then trough the concrete confinement vessel (concrete with lead grains) and it is out. Or it just blows up like Fukushima Daiichi reactor #3 and falls 5 kilometers around. Meanwhile dust and gasses get airborne and circulate all over the planet.

Optimists and hypocrites make me wanna puke!
