Once a year is not nearly enough! Love these debates

I have found that, in these talks, the moderator doesn't disperse the conversation between ALL of the 'debaters' well enough. A very few of the debaters vastly dominate the conversation. Also, the constant interruption by the moderator is annoying and only sometimes as funny as might be assumed. I would like to hear from all of the guests in a more equal way. The interruptions by the moderator also, at times, cause confusion in the communication from the guests.

I wish these would happen more frequently than once a year! Great stuff! Thanks a lot!

But as much of an optimist as I like to consider myself, I have to tell you, if by 2050 there is ANY fusion power plant generating net energy, I will be SHOCKED. Any size, just one plant, price no object (for the time being). ONE PLANT. I won't say it's impossible, but that's really out there.

​@@Orson2u A lot will probably depend on progress in superconductors. Raising the critical temperature, critical current density, critical magnetic field. That could do a lot to reduce the minimum size of a reactor. And then, smaller reactors can be built faster, and more can be learned more quickly. I think it's safe to say that no working fusion reactor, of any kind, could ever be made without superconductors. That was a key development. But on the upper end, even with the best superconductors we can imagine, it may only be possible to make a magnetic field just so strong, because the constituent materials can only be strong, and at some point the magnet would have to break down. With better software and models, it may be possible to accelerate progress in designing and building better reactors. In particular, I wonder if stellarators will eventually win out over tokamaks. Stellarators are more complex to build, and software could help a lot with that; on the plus side, they should be more stable, and in fact, reliable operation of tokamaks, without disruptions, for long periods, may never really be possible. Stellarators apparently don't have the same problem with disruptions.

Closed loop systems don't have to use fracking for underground water system flow. Eavor (a Canadian company) use such a system and it becomes a very versatile system when you are not tethered to fracking for geo thermal.

I like the systems mind of Anna but I just don't see that future being feasible with the state of our political/industrial complex. Olivia is spot on. We need sustainable mindset. We need to think long term but with focus on anythingnwe can do now, breaking through engineering political and corporate barriers.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, nature is a complex biochemical and geophysical system(s), but economic is a construct. We can always create money, or value it differently, or forgo it entirely. I really think it is important tot start with what is absolutely necessary, and cannot be controlled, everything else is superfluous.

Status of the Magma Energy Project Dunn, J. C. (Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM.) Abstract The current magma energy project is assessing the engineering feasibility of extracting thermal energy directly from crustal magma bodies. The estimated size of the U.S. resource (50,000 to 500,000 quads) suggests a considerable potential impact on future power generation. In a previous seven-year study, we concluded that there are no insurmountable barriers that would invalidate the magma energy concept. Several concepts for drilling, energy extraction, and materials survivability were successfully demonstrated in Kilauea Iki lava lake, Hawaii. The present program is addressing the engineering design problems associated with accessing magma bodies and extracting thermal energy for power generation. The normal stages for development of a geothermal resource are being investigated: exploration, drilling and completions, production, and surface power plant design. Current status of the engineering program and future plans are described. Publication: Presented at the Symposium on Geothermal Energy, New Orleans, La., 10 Jan. 1988

My one major "complaint", if you wish to call it that, about Dr Tyson: he does not emphasize nearly enough that science is EXPENSIVE. That technology is EXPENSIVE. That one should NEVER EVER TAKE FOR GRANTED or ASSUME that some technology will continue to progress into the future. That technology happens ONLY because people CHOOSE to make it happen. They can CHOOSE to be STUPID, instead, and slow down progress.

Awesome stuff, just wish it was much longer

I never anticipated that this discussion would be too dumbed down to be useful, but I suppose I should have. It really is. To get anywhere with this subject, you have to get into a little basic math, and some charts and graphs. Sorry to have to bring that bad news, but surely it can't really be news. This is not rocket science…except that, at times, it kind of gets to that level.

I do live off grid using mostly solar panels where there is low light. The strategy is having enough solar panels to fill the batteries at 100% in a few hours only. So, whenever there is a bit of sun, you refill fast. The rest of the time, bi-facial panels will still generate a few kWh per day in the worst conditions. I made it through 9 days without sun this fall; +- 5kWh of production per day or less, still enough for internet and a computer!

26:44 - major thumbs up!

Incredible conversation to witness. More please!

1:24:57 Neil explains the common sense and most evolutionary outcome, a common energy distribution network (electricity) where all generation sources compete for the title of most efficient and cost effective per application. He goes on to praise all the competing technologies and says they should compete on their merits and the best in class for electric generation in each category will emerge. Common sense, he also adds “after that I’m not a fan” which is a reference to the no-growth, de-growth green spectrum of Malthusian thinkers. The panel goes silent, because the green de-growth cat was let out of the bag and instantly guillotined, that was what the silence symbolized. To hide that one of the panelists said “You don’t mention wind” which was a misdirection out of the cul de sac. Good job Neil!

Asimov debates are my favorite class.

Nuclear energy is the answer. Also deploying fission-suppressed fusion hybrid reactors. That is a nuclear reactor that uses high-energy neutrons from a fusion reactor to trigger fission in non-fissile fuels. The reactor has a neutron-producing fusion core surrounded by a fission blanket. The neutrons from the fusion core trigger fission in the blanket, which multiplies the energy released by each fusion reaction. This design can make fusion reactors more economical and allow them to burn fuels that aren't suitable for conventional fission plants, including nuclear waste.

Iceland is sitting on a magma conveyor belt. It can sell and supply Europe's energy needs probably cheaper than the current cost. Of course, the set up cost initially will be high.

The big problem for nuclear fusion to become the power source of the future is rarely mentioned. This is the fact that the tritium needed for the operation of a fusion reactor has to be produced by the reactor itself. It is possible to breed tritium in a fusion reactor but producing enough of it will probably turn out to be impossible. The reason for this is that each fusion reactor produces one neutron that could in principle be used to create one tritium atom. But inevitable neutron losses and losses in extracting the tritium will cause the yield to be far less than hundred procent. The only hope to make the losses up is to utilize nuclear reactions that produce more neutrons than they consume. Nobody knows if this will be a solution to the problem.

Also the biggest source of payment the R in R&D is the government.

Will these deep holes to access heat eventually cool the earth's core if there are thousands of them around the planet? Will it dissipate heat away from the core? I'm not a scientist, but it made me think about it. If the earth's core cools over time, will that affect it's rotation speed or orbit? Possibly over hundreds of years?

1:08:24 Suddenly this is getting way more interesting! I wonder if what Dr Keleman says is true. It might be. Never really worked it out. But when you consider how wastefully energy was used in 1776 (whale oil lamps, wood stoves, tallow candles, and so on), it might be. If so, that's truly remarkable-although I'm sure there have been substantial ups and downs along the way. But here's the thing: The good Doctor NOW seems to be saying that the next few decades will bring a STEEP RISE in that global, per capita energy use. I have to question that. There are energy EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS going on apace. LED lights and electric cars are just two examples. There are others. There is a constant tug between countervailing trends in this area. I'm not so sure about that big energy surge that so many are predicting.

~57:00 If you succeed in producing large amounts of clean geothermal energy, that would do a lot to actually undermine the biggest use case for hydrogen, which is stationary energy storage, especially at high latitudes.

my dear you do not need a laser for that that is only your focus on it can be done mechanical, electrical and only electrical that is the fuel for the laser.

50:30 The increase rate of renewables (wind+solar) is, right now, just about covering the rate of increase of energy use, globally. You find that discouraging? Really? That's far ahead of where things were ten years ago, AND it's far, far behind where things will be in another ten years. To me, that's a lot more than just "barely moving the needle," to use a popular phrase.

The moment near the end when she says "we really prefer you just call it fusion" (instead of "nukes") is quite revealing. Fusion is just a make-work program for plasma physicists financed by public money in captured government institutions and FOMO-driven private VCs investing in startups. The fact they don't really have a superior product to fission nor to any of fission's alternatives in wind, solar, etc., means incumbents need to care a lot about keeping up the hype on the media, propagating false memes of infinite abundance, and of course: branding itself as something different than nuclear power.

It is shocking that social scientists are always excluded from climate discussions. Social change is the only viable solution to overuse of energy. That is because the problem is economics. How and what you measure determines what you value, and how you value it. Economists make models that value capital by devaluing everything else, and they ‘externalize’ factors that do not produce their predetermined results. Neo-classical economics is a political ideology that is unable to provide a wholistic understanding. Since ecology and energy are ignored in the models that structure the economy, the economy constantly tries to make the world fit into the models.

Do we have to continue living in wasteful ways . Can we not simply live with the nature without disturbing the environment and other creatures on the planet, below and above. Every one in looking on other's minerals and big companies looking for for the Geopolitics and instability. Poetic!

We gotta get to mining H3 from the Moon.

SO happy that Neil Degrasse Tyson hosts these wonderful events❤❤❤❤❤

Am really glad there are more women than men in this year's debate. For over a decade, it's always men>women in these debates, sometimes even 0.

This is SO BIAS.... we CAN NOT replace combustions engines... for electric ones ... IS JUST NOT POSIBLE within out plannet... Hidrogen is other thing.. but the energy density of a batery is just ridiculus, also polute way more than building a normal "car" with a combustion engine.

You probably should not, the energy/fossil fuel they produce right now gives them power in the world. If the world does not depend on them, their influence is reduced.

The panel should have had people with solutions and discuss them, not with people telling us the problem which we already know. The journalist was not needed in this panel.

If I were David Wallace Wells i would have considered just getting up and leaving I could not listen to the "smart people" on stage. Made me sick.

I watch these debates are more than blockbuster movies. These are well under-rated.

Glad you enjoy them!

Conservation of Spatial Curvature (Both Matter and Energy described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature. A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. An artificial Christmas tree can hold the ornaments in place, but it is not a real tree. String Theory was not a waste of time, because Geometry is the key to Math and Physics. However, can we describe Standard Model interactions using only one extra spatial dimension? What did some of the old clockmakers use to store the energy to power the clock? Was it a string or was it a spring? What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles? Fixing the Standard Model with more particles is like trying to mend a torn fishing net with small rubber balls, instead of a piece of twisted twine. Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: “We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.” Neils Bohr (lecture on a theory of elementary particles given by Wolfgang Pauli in New York, c. 1957-8, in Scientific American vol. 199, no. 3, 1958) The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with some aspects of the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose, and the work of Eric Weinstein on “Geometric Unity”, and the work of Dr. Lisa Randall on the possibility of one extra spatial dimension? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics? When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). What if Quark/Gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks where the tubes are entangled? (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Charge" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry. Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Gluons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. The twist in the torus can either be Right-Hand or Left-Hand. Some twisted donuts can be larger than others, which can produce three different types of neutrinos. If a twisted tube winds up on one end and unwinds on the other end as it moves through space, this would help explain the “spin” of normal particles, and perhaps also the “Higgs Field”. However, if the end of the twisted tube joins to the other end of the twisted tube forming a twisted torus (neutrino), would this help explain “Parity Symmetry” violation in Beta Decay? Could the conversion of twist cycles to writhe cycles through the process of supercoiling help explain “neutrino oscillations”? Spatial curvature (mass) would be conserved, but the structure could change. ===================== Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons? Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension? Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The production of the torus may help explain the “Symmetry Violation” in Beta Decay, because one end of the broken tube section is connected to the other end of the tube produced, like a snake eating its tail. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process, which is also found in DNA molecules. Could the production of multiple writhe cycles help explain the three generations of quarks and neutrinos? If the twist cycles increase, the writhe cycles would also have a tendency to increase. Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves. ( Mass=1/Length ) The “Electric Charge” of electrons or positrons would be the result of one twist cycle being displayed at the 3D-4D surface interface of the particle. The physical entanglement of twisted tubes in quarks within protons and neutrons and mesons displays an overall external surface charge of an integer number. Because the neutrinos do not have open tube ends, (They are a twisted torus.) they have no overall electric charge. Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms. In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137. 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted. The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.) How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter? Why did Paul Dirac use the twist in a belt to help explain particle spin? Is Dirac’s belt trick related to this model? Is the “Quantum” unit based on twist cycles? I started out imagining a subatomic Einstein-Rosen Bridge whose internal surface is twisted with either a Right-Hand twist, or a Left-Hand twist producing a twisted 3D/4D membrane. This topological Soliton model grew out of that simple idea. I was also trying to imagine a way to stuff the curvature of a 3 D sine wave into subatomic particles. .

So out of date. Hydrogen is not clean it leks and not suitable for transportation not even trains or trucks. Almost nothing on chemical, water and heat storage or efficiency and passive usage or how the limiting factors are not solar and wind because they’re the solution with some storage and most importantly modernisation of the grid and microgrids with HVDC
