The West has around 1,000 tonnes of fissile nuclear fuel. We have 1,200,000 tonnes of depleted uranium, which is not fissile fuel. There are 2 breeder reactors in the world (both in Russia), that can turn depleted uranium into nuclear fuel. These reactors do it whilst also…

Batteries 🔋 What if you could build a battery that took 50 years to discharge and produced 125 MW at 33kV? What if you could build them in packs of 16 so they output 2GWe at 525kV ($1bn/yr) for 50 years? Well you can. This is a technology that we already have, it’s a fast…

Electricity prices in UK are mostly set by this government owned company that nobody has ever heard of. Why is that? Why do people have such strong opinions about energy prices when they aren’t even aware that LCCC exists, or what it does? Like proverbial fleas riding a dog.

The industrial heartland of USA (yellow) This map shows every US county by its largest economic sector. Worth noting that 1/3rd of US counties are manufacturing economies. Many have the advantage of being clustered. East North Central is the industrial epicentre of America.

Lots of nice ship GAs on the internet. Obviously everyone is terrified of IP theft or facilitating the competition, but if your product is consumer facing all your competitors are doing tear-downs every day. And there is almost never any major tech revelation on any GA.
