  • More Renewables Lead To Lower Demand For Methane In Europe

  • methane cracker? that's a very unusual unit that outputs hydrogen and carbon. i could find info about opening of ethane cracker in 2025, but that's for plastics, next to shutdown of another similar unit

  • Lithium-iron is about 2x more expensive, there might be different availability and energy use during manufacture is probably higher

  • Lead-acid batteries work if you don't care about weight and lithium-iron phosphate if you do

  • How can you detect cancer spreading Nitrates in the water supply?

    Jump

  • yeah this is only practical option, the analysis isn't that expensive, but equipment to run it is. but also people who have their own water wells have to submit their own samples

  • is it a good idea to put foamboard covered with aluminum foil on top of windows in my attic?

    Jump

  • Reflective side out, and on the outside this should work. Aluminum foil or a thermal blanket would also work and are lighter

  • waaaaay less impressive when you take a look inside

    Once Evo got familiar with the genomes of Phi X-174 and its kin, the researchers prompted the model to write new versions of its own. Evo generated 700,000 potential versions; the scientists pursued only the ones that looked as if they had the best odds of succeeding.

    They ended up making DNA molecules from 285 of Evo’s suggested sequences. [...] All told, they discovered that 16 of Evo’s genomes produced viable new viruses.

    Dr. Crook cautioned that Evo’s viruses were not radically new creations. They tend to be very similar to natural species, relying on the same underlying biology.

    look out for breathless boosters "warning" everyone that ai will kill us all and it's definitely not used as a marketing strategy

  • there are still coal powerplants around and any replacement is better. geothermal doesn't work everywhere

  • Coal ash (from some mines) contains so much uranium that if emissions like this were detected near NPP all hell would break loose, but nobody cares. Energy content of that uranium can be higher than what was released during coal combustion

  • it replaces gas turbine with a fuel cell, which is a good couple % more efficient than CCGT. still under development. there is also another variant where hot offgas is generated under pressure and expanded directly. no steam, same effect

  • New clean energy comes out. look inside It’s just boiling water again…

    Jump

  • there is a power generation scheme that uses high temperature fuel cells. optimally it could run on hydrogen only, but because it runs hot, it is able to take almost any flammable gas, along with some steam, and it forms hydrogen internally, then oxidizes it. this alone generates bulk of electricity, but offgas is hot, so it goes to heat exchanger which boils water, which then turns steam turbine
