Okay, so you all know I’ve been writing about power generation in all its forms for so long now, almost 16 years, and I’m now just a boring old f@rt, almost at his use by date. I’ve tried to make something so technical easier to understand, sometimes with success, and some are not keen that I have done it like that, simplifying it as I have done, but I have to find a way to explain it so that someone with no electrical background actually can understand it.
It’s not often I see something new, and when I do, I then have to find a way to explain that. (and such was the case with UltraSuperCritical (USC) coal fired power and then the next generation higher tech, Advanced USC, now all referred to as HELE)
Okay so here is something new, and having said that, it’s actually been around for four to five years, just that it’s never come out into the open, and that’s the case with all these forms of power generation that are NOT from the supposedly most favoured Renewables ….. “Don’t even mention them!” And if it’s ….. nuclear, then even more assiduously avoid it. That word nuclear is the ‘do not use’ word, oh unless it’s a nuclear family, or nuclear medicine, (used in every hospital) where it’s somehow acceptable, and even then, the word is avoided.
This new addition to power generation is called HALEU, and that acronym stands for High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium. Here’s the link to an article about it. It’s the new fuel that will be used in the latest generation of nuclear power plants.
Okay, sounds good, eh! What nine out of ten people (well, 999,999 out of a million really) don’t know is that the enrichment level of current Nuclear material used in the big Nuke power plants is only around 3% to 5%, so this HALEU is similar in nature to those levels of enrichment, slightly higher.
Okay, I wrote all about Nuclear Power Generation in a 12 Part Series way back in 2009, and here’s the link to that Series if anyone wants to read it. Okay, it’s dated now, but the research I did at that time meant this was accurate at the time of writing.
There’s an image at that HALEU link above which shows levels of enrichment, Now, in my own Series, I used a similar image (at this link) and both images, while similar, highlight one thing. I want you all to look at the left and right bar scales on my image showing enrichment levels. The mined Uranium is already at 0.7% Enrichment. It goes through the enrichment process, and then gets used inside the power plant’s reactor. At the end of its life those now consumed ‘rods’ are at an enrichment level down to around 0.6% enrichment, lower than the ‘raw’ Uranium.
The enrichment processes are completely different for power plant enrichment and higher levels of enrichment, up to Weapons Grade enrichment.
Okay, if I could only recommend you read just one of my Posts from my Series, then read Part Five at this link. It explains the enrichment process the making of the pellets, and then the making of the rods, and the differences in rod assemblies for currently existing PWR and BWR reactors at power plants. At the top of that Post see the image (at this link) showing just one pellet being held in ….. a bare hand.
Okay, last image at this link, showing levels of radiation exposure typical for an average person across an average year and average exposure levels. The exposure levels from a nuclear power plant are at the far right.
HALEU is for the newer generation nuclear power plants, and all the above I just wrote is entirely academic really, as you’re never going to see any of it here in Australia.
More’s the pity.
It’s also worth noting here that even with such emphasis (everywhere) on the renewables of choice, advances are still being made in all other forms of electrical power generation, so they (even coal fired power) are NOT the ‘stranded assets’ we are told they are becoming.

Hi, Tony,
The projection that there will be no HALEU nor grid nuclear power of any kind in Australia seems realistic for the next decade, but beyond that it veers towards pessimistic. Having plenty of hydrocarbon fuels in the ground is one of nuclear power’s barriers here. The other of course is historical baggage fearmongering and the politics subsisting on it. Basically, the ban.
My and earlier generations were brought up in a cold war environment with nuclear accidents from old designs still fresh in our minds. The newer generations of people will inherit newer generation reactor designs and are not so encumbered by baggage.
One recent performance from a high school student during ABC’s Q&A set tongues and scrolling-fingers wagging when he made the case for nuclear power and downplayed the waste issue.
He started a petition (now on 8687 signatures) to rescind the ban on nuclear energy. Although I could agree on lifting the ban, I halt when I reach the final phrase of the proposition:
After spending significant hours reading science paper abstracts, analysing climate observational data, and generating copious verbiage in rejection of the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming hypothesis a decade ago, I haven’t heard of any new evidence since then that could convince me there was going to be a problem from CO2. I would be reluctant to publicly sign on to a statement predicated on a belief that I don’t accept, even when the action he’s calling for is the right option to do.
To be a stickler, it could not literally be a zero carbon (fuel) future because we do not have any battery technology yet which can approach the energy and power density of kerosene – so we’ll be using kerosene at least for aviation for the foreseeable future. Whether that kerosene is carbon neutral depends on the price of fossil fuel. If the natural stuff gets too expensive, a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process can synthesize a substitute(^1) under two critical assumptions: that we can grow the biomass feedstock at a large enough scale economically, and 2) that we have cheap electricity to run it. On the electricity assumption, nuclear would be advantageous of course, but I half wonder if this is where Australia’s wide open untapped sunlit spaces could be put to better use than directly feeding the grid.
Of the problems with renewables too numerous to recount here, the more well known is the lack of energy storage capacity to buffer the unpredictable output. If you spend solar energy immediately generating kerosene, you have enormous output buffering capacity that can be installed at any location. It’s called a shed. 🙂 It can be transported without building giant transmission pylons. The intermediate output prior to refinement, being more dense, can be exported like crude oil without building and defending a giant cable.
However the traditionally higher cost of wind and solar power generation remains a factor and for airlines that are so sensitive to fossil fuel price variation already there is a question mark over the affordability of synthetic fuel made from renewables. Nuclear power is cheaper by most estimates.
So it may be that ironically renewable energy will find a stable and useful large scale application precisely because we will not have a zero carbon future. The same can be said for nuclear. If young Mr Shackel is not alone and nuclear is increasingly seen as desirable by the upcoming generation we may see a reversal of the ban for a short term election payoff. In the longer term as the price of fossil fuels increase, eventually grid scale reactors in some form would be deployed.
In the end I agree, it is quite likely most people alive today will not see that happen.
Cheers.

Chemical engineers invent a revolutionary fuel that won’t catch fire
University of California-Riverside have designed a unique fuel that only ignites when applying an electrical current. The primary advantage of this innovative fuel is its safety — it doesn’t react to open flames, making it immune to accidental fires during storage or transportation.
“The fuel we’re normally using is not very safe. It evaporates and could ignite, and it’s difficult to stop that,” says study co-author Yujie Wang, a UCR chemical engineering doctoral student, in a university release. “It is much easier to control the flammability of our fuel and stop it from burning when we remove voltage.”
When a fuel burns, it’s not the liquid but the volatile fuel molecules above it that catch fire upon mixing with oxygen and flame.
“If you throw a match into a pool of gasoline on the ground, it’s the vapor of the gas that’s burning. You can smell that vapor and you instantly know it’s volatile,” says study first author Prithwish Biswas, a UCR chemical engineering doctoral student. “If you can control the vapor, you can control whether the fuel burns.”
At the heart of this innovation is an ionic liquid, which is essentially a liquified salt.
“It is similar to the salt we use to flavor food, which is sodium chloride,” notes Wang. “The one we used for this project has a lower melting point than table salt, low vapor pressure, and is organic.”

Mouthwashes contain deadly chemicals linked to HEART problems, CANCER
New research out of Turkey has found that many consumer mouthwash products currently on the market are loaded with deadly chemicals that are linked to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and more.
1) Glycerin, associated with kidney and liver deterioration, was found in 31, or more than 68 percent, of tested mouthwashes.
2) Sodium saccharin, an artificial sweetener known to cause cancer, was found in 29, or more than 64 percent, of tested mouthwashes.
3) Propylene glycol, a chemical linked to organ failure when consumed in larger amounts, was found in 28, or about 62 percent, of tested mouthwashes.
Amazingly, a handful of the mouthwashes tested, seven out of 45, or just over 15 percent, were found to contain an antiseptic chemical called chlorhexidine gluconate that causes tooth decay, which kind of defeats the purpose of a mouthwash that supposedly supports oral health.
Other questionable ingredients in the mouthwash formulas tested include cetylpyridinium chloride, a plaque-reducing agent, and acid orange 7 dye, both of which can discolor and stain teeth.
“The limited array of mouthwashes found on store shelves poses a concern for both oral and public health,” the study authors wrote in their paper, which was published in the International Dental Journal
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020653923004379
Colgate, Listerine, Oral-B and Sensodyne are on the list.

1), 2) and 3) above are toxic when ingested. How many people are stupid enough to drink mouthwash. There is too much fuss about “chemicals” now that attamoles can be measured.
On the other hand I agree that treating the mouth with antibiotic substnaces is probably harmful in the long term, mostly by destroying the microbiome producing need for more mouthwash.

Report: majority of carbon offset projects globally are “likely junk”
Analysis found that 39, or 78%, of the 50 environmental projects were categorised as “likely junk or worthless” due to one or more “fundamental failing”.
The most popular projects traded globally include forestry schemes, hydroelectric dams, solar and wind farms, waste disposal and greener household appliance schemes across 20 countries, most of which have developing economies. The data comes from Allied Offsets, the world’s biggest and most comprehensive emissions trading database, which aggregates information about projects traded within the VCM from their inception.
Eight others, or 16%, look “problematic”. There is evidence to suggest that they may have at least one fundamental failing and could therefore be “junk”.

California town first to recognize elephants’ rights
The California town of Ojai became the first in the U.S. to recognize the legal rights of elephants.
The Ojai City Council voted 4-1 on Tuesday to adopt the ordinance, which recognizes the freedoms of elephants and was developed with the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP).
“It’s indisputable that elephants suffer when deprived of their freedom and that animal welfare laws can’t end their suffering,” Courtney Fern, Nonhuman Rights Project’s director of government relations and campaigns, said in a release. “For elephants and the nonhuman animal rights movement, we are proud to support this first-of-its-kind ordinance and we commend the Ojai City Council for standing up for what is necessary and just.”
According to the ordinance, elephants have been found to be quite similar to humans in that they have long-term memories, learning abilities, empathy, and self-awareness.

Me: Make post acceptable on cc sites on Facebook about danger of runaway cooling with net zero
ChatGPT
Highlighting concerns about runaway cooling with net zero: As we rush towards net-zero emissions, we must consider unintended consequences. Drastic reductions in CO2 could lead to less atmospheric insulation, potentially triggering extreme cooling. While the science isn’t settled, history shows that ice ages have occurred during periods of low CO2. We must prioritize balanced research and not overlook the risks of abrupt climate shifts in our pursuit of net zero.

ChatGPT
CO2, a natural component of our atmosphere, is vital for life on Earth. It enhances plant growth, leading to more abundant crops and lush forests. Increased CO2 levels will boost agricultural yields, providing food security for a growing population. Additionally, CO2 contributes to a milder climate, preventing harsh cold periods. Embracing the benefits of CO2 while pursuing responsible emissions control is a balanced approach to environmental stewardship. 🌍🌿 #ClimatePerspective #CO2Benefits

ChatGPT
Lowering CO2 levels will have unintended consequences, potentially leading to food shortages, especially in the world’s poorest nations. Reduced CO2 can hinder crop growth and decrease agricultural yields, making it harder for these countries to feed their populations. To combat this, we must focus on sustainable practices and support developing nations in adopting modern, efficient agricultural technologies. A balanced approach is crucial to address climate concerns while ensuring global food security. 🌍🌾 #ClimateAction #FoodSecurity

make a post acceptable on most pro cc forums about how oceans will outgas co2 when we are able to lower co2 production according to Henry’s law
ChatGPT
According to Henry’s law, as we lower CO2 production, the oceans will naturally outgas CO2. This phenomenon is a reminder that the Earth has its own mechanisms for regulating carbon levels. It’s essential to monitor these natural processes and work collaboratively to find sustainable solutions. Let’s continue our efforts to reduce emissions while respecting the planet’s natural cycles. 🌊🌍 #ClimateScience #NaturalCarbonRegulation
User
A bit longer with more reasoning please
ChatGPT
Certainly, as we strive to lower CO2 production, it’s crucial to consider Henry’s law and its implications. This scientific principle tells us that when atmospheric CO2 levels decrease, the oceans will naturally release CO2 into the atmosphere.
This natural outgassing is a fundamental aspect of the Earth’s carbon cycle. It occurs because as CO2 levels drop in the atmosphere, the concentration gradient between the ocean surface and the air changes, causing CO2 to move from the higher concentration in the ocean to the lower concentration in the atmosphere.
While this may initially seem counterintuitive to our efforts to combat climate change, it’s a reminder that the Earth possesses its own mechanisms for carbon regulation. This phenomenon highlights the need for a balanced approach to CO2 reduction.
Instead of relying solely on emissions reduction, we should also focus on enhancing natural carbon sinks like forests and oceans, which can help mitigate the effects of elevated CO2 levels. Additionally, investing in technologies that can capture and store CO2 is essential for long-term carbon management.
By acknowledging the complexities of carbon cycling and Henry’s law, we can develop more effective and sustainable strategies for addressing climate change while avoiding unintended consequences. 🌊🌍 #ClimateScience #NaturalCarbonCycle

Even the lefty media can’t ignore the extreme violence in Sweden. But they still manage to almost completely fail to mention it is caused by immigrant criminal gangs, from their failed immigration policy.

Why mention one gang but omit it’s ethnicity and ‘business’; the Kurdish Fox, the group’s leader, one of Sweden’s top drug dealers?
50
After a brutally violent month in Sweden with shootings and bombings becoming almost a daily occurrence, Sweden has decided to crack down hard on the gangs responsible for the attacks.
This isn’t a new thing. Sweden has had problems with gangs for many years now. We have 61 no-go zones, some of which the police describe as “lawless areas”.
Things have become so bad that the police warned that the situation hasn’t been this dangerous since 1945.
Other police have warned that we risk a “systemic societal collapse” if things are allowed to continue.
There has been 125 bombings in Sweden so far this year. That is almost one every other day.
To put that into comparison, consider that Sweden is a small country with only just over 10 million people. If the equivalent would have taken place in the USA, it would have been almost 4000 bombings – In just this year so far! That is really, really bad!

EVs: Am having a change of heart, although I am not sure what will happen.
The problems with people spending time for a medium to fast charge for their EV is clear. It’s going to be a huge mess whcih gets worse with increasedEV penetration.
Yet so too is another reality. It is much easier and less expensive to throw up an EV charging kiosk. Easy to imagine landowners and businesses in small towns installing self serve EV charging kiosk than build a gas station. An ATM of the road so-to-speak. In other words there will be an explosion of decentralized refuelling where people will be coaxed into using.
That private renewable small windmill in the middle of nowhere with a powrwall could make $$$ by providing an EV charging service.
Who gets left holding the short end of this stick? Hmmm …
11
Ever wonder why utilities are ‘regulated’?
It provides predictable reliable supplyand price. We regulateastuff to avoid pricegouging and guarantee reliable supply.
The Australian move to green energy via rooftop and distributed W&S amounts to removing regulation and making “supply and demand” the main focus.
Carging one’s car commands a premium price because it is an impatient demand..
Imagine trying to control the price of charging when the service iis provided in a remote location where itis sorely needed. Those who have charging station convenience in remote places can demand big $$
Those who live in dense citieswill pay the biggest price. Those who live in the boonies will have next to free motoring.
(unless the cost of road maintenance and construction is apportioned by usage)
My thoughts sound discombobulated? .. Well yeah!
Deregulation is like that.
The renewable industry amounts to heavy subsidization of occasional energy w&s + EVs while deregulating
Enjoy
10
But those two statements contradict each other ?
City EV drivers will benefit from a wider choice of charger operators and facilities which will force prices down by competition.
10
Not so easy im afraid !…
Any decent EV charger would need a charge rate of at least 50kW…and a capacity 100+ kWh ( for a 2 hour recharge )
That would dictate a source battery with at least that ability even for just one charge.
A”powerwall” type unit can only supply 5 kW and has a capacity of 13 kWh
…so at least 10 of those required,..or stump up for a 110kWh “Powerpack” (~$200,000 ?)
Then you probably need a $500k windmill to recharge it in a reasonable time.
…Bear in mind also, current “fast chargers” deliver 250-350 kW for those 20 min recharges !
So if you want to be in that game , those costs will be x5 at least. !
That would require a lot of customers to provide a worthwhile return on investment.
