5 Ways Nuclear reactors can get the world to NetZero

Hello everyone. Welcome back to my YouTube channel. In this video, I'm going to explain "Why all paths to NetZero URGENTLY need Nuclear".

This video is a summary of what I learned from Bill Gate's "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster". It's a breakdown of global Greenhouse gas emissions by source and deep dive into how Nuclear technologies can be deployed to effectively decarbonize our planet. In order to develop innovative solutions and technologies to combat climate change, it's important to understand where our emissions come from, this video helps with that.

2:33 that was smooth Osama, that was smooth

very informative video! I like the part about “making things”. Makes me wonder what the alternatives or solutions might be to replace those sources. Interesting!

Very cool - I like that you break it down into the sources. It's good that people see there is more to this than just transportation (which I think people tend to assume is responsible for just about everything). Nuclear fission is honestly the only sure bet to curb greenhouse emissions, and carry us along until fusion becomes a viable replacement. The best way to do that exactly what you're doing - help educate people to the nature of the problem and that nuclear power (especially Canada's CANDU tech) is safe and reliable.

Oh, as for the meat comment, haha - yeah I know, meat is delicious - which is why becoming a vegetarian was something I wasn't sure I could do at first. Turns out it's not all that bed - you don't crave it as much after you don't have it, then eventually it downright becomes unappetizing. The upside I didn't plan on at the time was how bloody expensive meat has gotten - glad I'm _not_ buying it anymore!

I don't know if nuclear shipping would be economical. Aside from the capital cost of the reactor, I think the cost of the crew might be a showstopper. The world's largest container ship, Emma Maersk, sailed with just 13 crew on her maiden voyage. If you need 2-3 shifts of university-educated reactor operators (as opposed to tech-school diesel mechanics), and potentially a security team, their wages become a problem. Liability is a problem - most ships are flagged in sleazy micronations to avoid legal oversight. Then, at the ship's end-of-life, shipbreaking is done dirt-cheap in third-world countries. There are also some port cities that don't allow nuclear ships to dock.

Do you by chance have a source on the emission sources for agriculture? I always find it fascinating that plants are emitters and not carbon sinks. Like plants literally abosrb co2. Also, I'm still requesting a CANDU video, and now also a BWRX-300 video with the OPG announcement.

Nuclear energy does produce green gaz. You have to take in to account the mining, centrifuge, deuterium fabrication, wastes disposals, maintenance and every other humain interaction that directly involve running the nuclear plan.

Net Zero is a fallacy that must never be attained! CO2 is currently in short supply to green the planet it needs to be at least 1500 to 2000 ppm. CO2 is currently in saturation and doubling the CO2 will cause very little warming. Prior to the Industrial Revolution the planet was dieing and CO2 levels had been dropping for 540 million years and during the last glaciation CO2 dropped to 180 ppm (plants start dieing at 150 ppm, and if plants die everything dies) it rebounded to 280 ppm as the oceans warmed after the glaciation. However had the Industrial Revolution not happened it wold have resumed dropping due the single celled plants and animals which were causing the drop still being in existence; these plants and animals were using the dissolved CO2 to make body armor and still are. Man pumping CO2 into the atmosphere saved the planet. Net Zero will start the process all over again and the planet will eventually become lifeless.
