The Great Lakes: An Untapped Green Energy Goldmine?
Offshore wind turbines have many advantages over traditional onshore wind power generation, and the cost of wind power has come down significantly in the past 10 years. So why aren’t there any wind turbines in North America’s great lakes? In this video I explore the engineering and political challenges that have slowed the progress of offshore wind development in the great lakes.

    All engineering is based upon science, however engineers do not learn about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. They like empirical proof to justify plugging numbers into scientists' equations. When you calibrate measuring equipment, what is the requirement for the uncertainty of measurement ? Read about equipment calibration in ISO9000. How many of you smart-arses know it ?

    With respect to your comments at 6:10 that Carter was warned that he couldn't father children because of his role in disassembling the melted down reactor at Chalk River, Jonathan Alter's biography of Jimmy Carter says that he and Rosalynn had already had their three sons by 1952. So Jimmy and Rosalynn only went on to have their one daughter after the nuclear clean up.

    3:09 Sodium is also 100 times better at transferring heat than water - this means that in an 3:13 emergency where the plant’s electricity is shut off, the liquid sodium can passively 3:18 cool down the reactor and prevent a meltdown without any operator intervention. Wow! Very impressive of sodium to be 100 times better at transferring heat than water!

    4,347,770 views Aug 29, 2018 The United States produces 2,200 tons of nuclear waste each year…and no one knows what to do with it. The federal government has long promised, but never delivered, a safe place for nuclear power plants to store their spent fuel. This means that radioactive waste is piling up all over the country. We visited one of the worst places where the waste is stuck: a beachside power plant uncomfortably close to both San Diego and Los Angeles. And we asked the people in charge of the waste there: what happens now?

    Maybe 1/4 of the energy from LWRs comes from Pu. The "waste" have most energy left. But is full with neutron eaters stopping the fission. The solid core reactors like LWR have problems with safety , efficiency and waste. Reactor grade is NOT weapons grade. Tthe Soviets wasted many years to understand in spite having a efficient spy networks.

    The long lived radioactive waste is solvable in a way that does need a disposal system for hundreds of thousands of years. The waste that is highly radioactive is only that radioactive for five hundred years approximately until it decays to the point of normal background radiation. The long lived part of the waste is usually plutonium and unused uranium which can be used as a fuel source for reactors. These materials can be chemically separated from the waste thereby removing the need for long term disposal of radioactive waste. The highly radioactive waste products can be stored for hundreds of years or there may be uses for them now or in the future and the plutonium and unused uranium can be reprocessed into more fuel. I have been studying the material by Kirk Sorensen. He is a proponent for Molten Salt Reactors. Which use a chemical process to remove waste from the reactor salts. This process is probably useful for the radioactive waste of other reactors as well.

    This is where in the road way charging as you drive down the road is great. All forms of generation of electricity can be used to feed the electric road charging as you roll down the road. This changes all energy in to a standard power that can be used in most appreciations , not perfect but their is not a perfect way to use energy but electricity is easily moved around the country more and more and quite safely.

    A deep geological repository is totally ridiculous. When 96% of the energy is still resident in the fuel, the waste turns out to not be waste in a molten salt reactor which can use the other 96% of the energy stored in the waste. Instead of your fancy expensive brx 300 jobbie, for 1/2 the cost use the fuel in the waste to generate safe clean energy even safer than your stupid expensive brx 300 thingy. Yes for small modular reactors, no on solid fuel in fuel rods. Yes on molten salt.

    It’s not widely known that there were numerous meltdowns and related disasters at very early research reactors. There is a learning curve in every endeavor of science and nuclear energy is a major endeavor. Some of these disasters occurring in Soviet Russia were not revealed for many years, as a result of the Soviet decision to keep them secret from their own citizens, even the ones who were endangered. Much the same occurred in the USA, wherever they could manage to maintain secrecy. It was a dangerous and dirty business. It does not need to ever be that way again.
