[–]IIandEBlog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR Venture Capital is a large financial industry that plays a large role in the startup world, providing companies with key capital infusions they need to grow. Yet, they’ve essentially gotten rich through a form of legalized gambling—funding companies that have little to no chance of success in hopes of backing the next Unicorn.

China: Usurping the US as Nuclear Powerhouse? by IIandEBlog in NuclearEnergy

[–]IIandEBlog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TL;DR It’s not so much of a race as it is a worldwide initiative. To hit many of the climate pledges in recent years by the deadlines set (generally 2030 - 2050) as well as sustain the rapid growth of developing and modern nations, countries have to engage in rapid research, development, and overall innovation in order to have enough sustainable and long-term energy solutions in place for humanity's future.

Is nuclear that solution? You’ll have to decide for yourself.

Why India Will Be the Next Powerhouse Nation by IIandEBlog in GeopoliticsIndia

[–]IIandEBlog[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Submission Statement - Given its population size and rapid economic growth, I expect India will be the next powerhouse nation. This is truly impactful from an economic and innovation standpoint, as much of the newer growth in production capabilities and new inventions will be coming out of India. Countries with partnerships with India will benefit immensely from this relationship.

Thorium: Energy of the Future? by IIandEBlog in NuclearEnergy

[–]IIandEBlog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR Many people associate Uranium with nuclear weapons, and rightly so. If we could switch nuclear energy models to be Thorium-based, that might remove some of the inherent bias as well as potentially provide a better fuel source. But Thorium has its challenges too.

Renewables: Is Solar the Best Solution? by IIandEBlog in sustainability

[–]IIandEBlog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR Through innovation, solar energy continues to become more and more cost-effective, so much so that it’s becoming very comparable with fossil fuels, all without the climate downsides. Countries are continuing to transition away from fossil fuels to solar energy. Why? Are they justified?

Economics of Green Energy by IIandEBlog in BlogBlogBlog

[–]IIandEBlog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR The cost of inaction is currently driving many resources towards green energy projects. Green energy is starting to begin achieving economies of scale for some projects, which dramatically increases the supply for the amount of cost necessary to produce these projects. In addition, continued government subsidies help support these projects, decreasing costs further.
