Bingeworthy Clean Energy Content

 


Two great pieces of programming you can watch this weekend:
1.) Clean Power Hour #2 - Advanced Nuclear vs. Climate Change.  Our weekly livestream is back with some amazing guests.  Tune in for a bit of hope for the future from 1:00ET to 2:15ET today, on facebook,  youtube, or zoom.

2.) A well made and very entertaining documentary called Thorium, The Far Side of Nuclear.  It tells the story of how, over 50 years ago, a group of scientists tasked with making a nuclear airplane, invented a different type of nuclear reactor. A reactor that couldn't melt down (not that meltdowns are anywhere as deadly as coal plants, spewing pollution in normal operation) and made enough process heat that it could deeply decarbonize our entire society.  It's called the Molten Salt Reactor. Oh, and it has one of my favorite scientists, Alvin Weinberg, in cartoon form, drinking Jack Daniels for a good chunk of the movie. Definitely worth a watch:

Have a great weekend, and thanks for everything you do in the fight for fission,
