Ningxia night market

Ningxia night market

  • picked up the climate book by gates after so long
  • power lines underground cost more because they get hot and can melt because they cannot dissipate heat as compared to above ground
  • nuclear fusion vs fission, one is hydrogen -> helium, the other is splitting heavier atoms like uranium
  • fusion is much safer because chain reactions won’t occur, and it can only happen if you keep pumping it fuel, it also produces much less waste
  • fission is currently used the most in France
  • fusion is still decades away because the amount put in is still higher than the amount you get
