Let us imagine, for a moment, a #CarbonFree #SteamEngine
A #Locomotive , for pulling a #train.
We would be doing this for #fun wouldn't we, so #efficiency is not a major concern, and even #effectiveness is not the main constraint.
First off and really easy is what the #LondonUnderground, the#Tube, did in early days - make the boiler and firebox rather hot, use that to generate steam to propel the thing undergound, heat it up again when you get back into fresh air.
No need to use #Coal now.

See, it just amazes me how #petroleum giants have made idiots out of everybody. Amazes? Annoys.
If we actually had built #green #infrastructure, like #solar, #windmills, #batteries and co - in a tasteful, ethical & beautiful way ofc - then we wouldn't be struggling with energy now, would we?
Still #European car makers lag behind, still with the #greenwashing, still more vassal state energy. Wtf.

[Thread] The next installment from #KleeBenally 's book, #NoSpiritualSurrender
“The devastation of #NuclearColonialism, which permanently destroys #Indigenous communities throughout the world, is outright ignored by some of the most devout #ClimateJustice advocates. They claim #NuclearEnergy production is also a #GreenSolution to the #ClimateCrisis. More than 15,000 abandoned #UraniumMines are located within the so-called US, mostly in and around Indigenous communities, permanently poisoning #SacredLands and waters with little to no action being taken to clean up their deadly toxic legacy. There are currently 93 operating #NuclearReactors in the so-called US that supply 20% of the country’s electricity. There are 60,000 tons of #HighlyRadioactive spent waste store in concrete dams at #NuclearPowerPlants throughout the country with the waste increasing at a rate of 2,000 tons per year.
“In 1987 the ‘US’ Congress initiated a controversial project to transport and store almost all of the US’s #ToxicWaste at #YuccaMountain located about 100 miles northwest of so-called #LasVegas, #Nevada. Yucca Mountan has been held holy to the #Paiute and #WesternShoshone Nations since time immemorial. In January 2010 the #ObamaAdminstration approved a $54 billion taxpayer loan in a guarantee program for new nuclear reactor construction, three times what Bush previously promised in 2005. In April 2022, the #BidenAdministration government bailout to ‘rescue’ nuclear power plants at risk for closing. A #Colonial government representative stated, ‘US nuclear power contributes more than half of our #CarbonFree electricity, and President Biden is committed to keeping these plants active to reach our #CleanEnergy goals.’
“They, along with Climate Justice activiists, cite nuclear energy as necessary to combat #GlobalWarming, all while ignoring the devastating percent impacts #IndigenousPeoples have faced. There is nothing clean about energy produced from nuclear colonialism. From its weapons (including #DepletedUranium) to its #Mining and its waste; Indigenous bodies, lands, and waters continue to be sacrificed to heat water with radioactive materials which creates steam that moves generators to change batteries made from #Lithium extracted from other Indigenous sacred lands so #Teslas can mo you forward into a ‘just’ climate future.
“A green economy sustains and advances colonial progress, which means mitigated selective and ongoing destruction of #MotherEarth.”

#Japan Is Building Underwater #TidalPower Plants on Ocean Currents
Innovation & Technology / By Bojan Stojkovski / June 15, 2022
"Active shipping around the Japanese islands does not allow the Japanese to deploy conventional tidal power plants, and therefore Japanese experts are now developing and testing underwater power plants immersed in water to a depth of more than 50 meters.
"Successful testing of early prototypes of such power plants leads to Japan’s plans to build extensive networks of 2-MW standard tidal turbines by 2030.
"The development of the Kairyu Tidal Ocean Power Plant was started by IHI and NEDO scientists in 2011. By 2017, the partners assembled a 100 kW unit in the form of three 20-m floats with two 11-m blades (two 50 kW generators).
"The immersion depth of 50 meters was chosen for safety reasons during #typhoons, when you will not surprise anyone with the 20th wave, although the closer to the surface, the more influential the movement of water masses.
"The most promising place for installing underwater tidal turbines near Japan is the Japan Current (#Kuroshio) area off the country’s southern and eastern coasts in the Pacific Ocean. The potential current power is estimated at #205GW.
"IHI and NEDO are planning to build a 2MW tidal power plant with 40 blades for commercial use. A distributed network of such turbines could significantly contribute to providing the islands with electrical energy.
"According to Japanese experts, this type of network could generate electricity at the price of #solar energy. At the same time, the efficiency of tidal power plants is much higher than that of solar farms.
"Thus, the installed capacity utilization factor (ICUF) for solar farms is only 15%, while for tidal power plants, it reaches 70% and approaches the ICUU of thermal power plants with 80%.
"After the accident at the #Fukushima #nuclear power plant, Japan has problems with developing a peaceful atom. Also, there are no areas for full-fledged solar energy in the country, and the #winds are not as predictable as in Europe. Tidal power plants could be the foundation in Japan around which the government will build #carbonfree energy."

"A total #CarbonFree #grid is getting easier and easier to imagine. It's just a question of whether we can get there in time."
Storing #energy generated by #renewable #technologies like #solar, #wind, and #water is a problem that requires new types of #batteries to allow for a stable grid.
For example, #iron #rusting #chemistry is one potential Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation #EnergyStorage and discharge solution I'd never heard of before.

Weird but true … some legislators in #Wyoming are so enamoured of the oil and gas industry that they introduced legislation to phase out the sale of #EV s in the state by 2035. #ClimateChange #CarbonFree #HeadInSand
