What fuel source(s) will solve the energy crisis? We are running out of oil, coal does too much damage to the environment, solar and other renewables are still too inefficient, and we just don't have the technology for fusion reactors. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts /mlpol/.

I see what's behind the idea. Musk and his tech friends want to expand production to fuel their data-centers.

Sure, that's one use of energy. Abundant energy supplies can fuel industries and increase quality of life for many.

Anyways, back up the topic of energy sources. I am pro-nuclear, but I am also open to the expansion of geothermal energy in places where it's available. Natural gas is a given.

It's not, of course. He's just stumping for more black-box fission stations doing who knows what because we're not allowed to look or practice it ourselves.
"we can't wait for fusion!"
...says the puppet unwilling to solve the problem by making more energy stations.
They won't let you shut down the coal plants, anyway. Somebody did spectroscopy analysis of the chem-trails, and they predominately resemble coal fly ash. So until everyone is dead, they need the cover of coal power to poison us with silicates and aluminum ions.

It does not have to be black box. In fact, it should be transparent. The public should know how the technology works.

That's rich coming from the faggot who bought into glownigger anti-nuclear propaganda. Literal CIA assets have been seeding anti-nuclear fearmongering for years to prevent nuclear technology from spreading, and you idiots drank the coolaid.

>Geothermal
Only for volcanic regions, like Iceland.

Overall thermal gradient just 2.5°C for each 100 meters, power 0.03-0.05 W/m², energy 1.3 MJ/m² per year. If humanity build network of 4 km deep geothermal wells with distance 200 meters between them with water as heat carrier, all Earth surface can generate about 9.5 EJ per year. Current world primary energy consumption about 700 EJ per year.

Wait, not right, lazy me! It's data for all volcanic places like Iceland, Philippines, etc.
For all Earth surface about 420 EJ.
For land surface only 126 EJ.

On paper nuclear reactors are pretty dumb, basically they are a boiler and the produced steam is used to spin an electric generator. That's it.

It is, really. You have a container with water, you heat that water with fire, or, in this particular case with a hot radioactive rod, then you route the produced steam to a turbine that spins a generator. That's all the deal.
That the propaganda describing it as "super dangerous" and super high-tech is plain exaggeration and bullshit to justify over-inflated contracts to fill the contractors' pockets.

I agree that it is propaganda and over exaggeration, but it's not propaganda for the contractors; it's propaganda on behalf of glowniggers who don't want nuclear technology to spread because they don't want rival countries to have advanced energy or weapons technology.
Overall, you want a nuclear reactor to be built with the best possible quality, not just for safety, but also to harvest the most possible energy out of the fissile materials.

So I made this exact thread back in 2017 https://mlpol.net/go/623 notice how back in 2017 the thread stayed on the topic on energy production and didn't change into a thread about a mega conspiracy around nuclear power where brainlets accused any disagreement as obedience to the state. Just a really good expirement to show how mlpol has changed over the years.

The retards got worse over time too and they are hardly unique to mlpol. The left censored naughty opinions and actively shilled imageboards and it made having honest conversations impossible. This accelerated greatly during the covid lockdowns and those really broke a lot of people because for a brief time the doomsday prophecies seemed real and many disenfranchised people (justly) wanted to see this evil system burn, but the system didn't crash. Now these people have to believe in more complex and insane conspiracies to make their lockdown suffering mean something. Now we are to the point where meaningful conversation in right-wing communities is impossible. Factor in that zoomers, who are completely retarded thanks to our education system and can't make rational arguments to save their lives, are now a major demographic on imageboards and then factor in the bots as well and you have the perfect storm. Think tanks wanted to make these places less fun and they succeeded.

odd, how we haven't run out of energy yet.
Didn't we hit peak-oil in the early 80's?
I guess the polar ice caps haven't really melted either.
It's almost like the focus on fission is a distraction.

We hit peak oil production based on known means available in the 80s. New ways to find and extract oil have been discovered since, such as shale.
>I guess the polar ice caps haven't really melted either.
They have melted quite a bit actually. How much of it is man-made and how much of it is due to natural cycles is up for debate.

Crude is undeniably non-renewable, so the energy question has to addressed one day. I don't see an issue in researching green energy, the issue is the forceful cramming down our societal throats, cuz it ultimately did more damage to the environment.
I get that we have to mine that cobalt and process the plastics somehow. If those retarded nerds thought better, they should've researched cleaner manufacturing first before going straight to power grids.

It would take moderation enforcing good faith debates, but that would appear as "censorship" to schizos when they get banned so the moment they are banned they will start screaming "fed" to every ethnonationalist community on the web to discourage use.

Part of the reason engineers went for the tech they had was because this stuff won't take off without funding. Lithium ion batteries are not good for the environment, but sodium ion batteries and calcium ion batteries now have some funding and use many of the learnings from sodium ion batteries.

Aboitic oil theory is a load of shit. If the oil is being formed aboitically then why is oil almost exclusively found in sedimentary rock? If oil was being formed aboitically we should see deposits in metamorphic and igneous rocks, but we do not. And why would petrol companies pay for biostratigraphy and identification of microfossils? You think they do that for fun? No, it's because the fossils indicate the presence of oil. Get off of facebook and pick up a science textbook. Many universities including MIT have open courses online too.

I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of this theory, but is there any evidence for it? Have exhausted oil fields been replenished overtime? Have wells been refilled?
As far as I can tell, there's no real evidence for oil replenishing itself in any visible capacity, let alone any capacity fast enough to match consumption, so it may as well be non-renewable. Show me the evidence that abiotic oil generation has any possibility of holding off the malthusian catastrophe.

I mostly agree, but where I resent it is how it's being presented as a bootleg alternative to better options such as nuclear power. Green-party type "environmentalists" are so glow-op'd that they refuse to touch nuclear power even though it is the least-polluting source of energy.

What really needs to be researched is designs that actually last. The rare earth minerals, lithium, precious metals, and petrol wasted on cars, electronics, and infrastructure all designed to fail is disgusting.
