@urlyman Thorium Molten Salt Reactors, like China is having continued success with, provides high industrial level heat that's conducive to EV production. #TMSR also lends itself to #desalination, #SodiumIon batteries, #hydrogen and #ammonia production, medical isotopes, and even localized air conditioning because of high heat production in #MSR.

China's #BeltAndRoadInitiative is far more sustainable than most of the West's profit mongering.

Given sufficient electricity, we can make #Hydrogen in quantity without reforming Methane. The #Oxygen is a probably useful byproduct.
Given heat, pressure, and a catalyst, we can combine it with atmospheric #Nitrogen to make #Ammonia, a direct fertiliser, and starting point for Nitric acid and then #Nitrates. Among #AmmoniumNitrate 's uses is fertiliser for growng food.

I think we might build an Ammonia plant next to a #fission boiler, and use #heat as well as perhaps #electricity from it.

Organic #molecules delivered from #extraterrestrial materials may have played a key role in supplying building blocks for #life on #Earth.

Now scientists report all five canonical #nucleobases—purines (#adenine and #guanine) and pyrimidines (#cytosine, #thymine and #uracil)—in samples returned from the C-type #asteroid (162173) #Ryugu.

Samples from Ryugu, #Bennu and #Orgueil, which have a similar mineralogy and elemental composition, show purine-to-pyrimidine ratios negatively correlating with #ammonia.

These observations indicate that the nucleobases in these samples may have formed via a shared pathway depending on the physicochemical environment of the respective parent bodies.

The detection of diverse nucleobases in asteroid and meteorite materials demonstrates their widespread presence throughout the Solar System and reinforces the hypothesis that carbonaceous asteroids contributed to the #prebiotic chemical inventory of early Earth.
