Has the Atlantic AMOC system ALREADY started to collapse?? - Just Have A Think (Oct 27, 2024) |
|
Oct 27, 2024 · AMOC, or The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, has collapsed many times in Earth's geological history. But it's never happened while modern civilisations have existed - at least not until now anyway. We're already struggling to cope with 0.2 degrees Celsius of warming each decade, but an AMOC collapse could bring such catastrophic seasonal disruption that it would make recent extreme weather events look like a walk in the park! So, what's the plan??\n\nHelp support this channels independence at\nhttp://www.patreon.com/justhaveathink\n\nOr with a donation via Paypal by clicking ... | By Just Have a Think Read more ...

Solar Power can now be generated at NIGHT! It's really TRUE! - Just Have A Think (Oct 20, 2024) |
|
Oct 20, 2024 · Solar power is a fast growing contributor to our global electricity grids. After all that sunshine hits our planet during the day, some of it goes back up into the atmosphere, mostly at night time. Until now, harnessing that energy has been regarded as too difficult to do. But now a team at the University of New South Wales has achieved that elusive goal. So, can we look forward to 24-7 solar power?\n\nHelp support this channels independence at\nhttp://www.patreon.com/justhaveathink\n\nOr with a donation via Paypal by clicking here\nhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick\u0026hosted_button_id=GWR73EHXGJMAE\u0026source=url\n\nYou can also help keep my brain ticking over ... | By Just Have a Think Read more ...

Why HYDROGEN for home heating is a REALLY DUMB idea. - Just Have A Think (Oct 13, 2024) |
|
Oct 13, 2024 · Hydrogen is an extremely useful element here on earth. We use it for all sorts of essential chemical processes. But we don't tend to burn it as a fuel, because it's already made from a fuel - methane, in a process that releases more carbon dioxide than simply burning the methane itself. Canadian petrochemical expert Paul Martin recently co-wrote a peer-reviewed paper examining why filling existing gas pipelines with hydrogen is a very bad idea indeed, and this week we talk to him about his findings.\n\nHelp support this channels independence at\nhttp://www.patreon.com/justhaveathink\n\nOr with a donation via Paypal by clicking ... | By Just Have a Think Read more ...

Solar PV with more than 40% efficiency is now achievable. - Just Have A Think (Oct 06, 2024) |
|
Oct 06, 2024 · Perovskite and silicon appear to be the dream combo for improved efficiency in solar PV technology, with the potential to more than double the performance of anything you may have on your roof today. If you live in America, you can now buy perovskite/ silicon solar panels manufactured in Europe. So what is Perovskite, how does it work with silicon, and when will you be installing 43% efficient panels for your home?

FINALLY! Fully recyclable wind turbine blades! - Just Have A Think (Sep 29, 2024) |
|
Sep 29, 2024 · Wind power is becoming an ever more dominant force in global electricity grids. But it's 'dirty secret' is that the turbine blades are currently almost impossible to recycle. Now a team at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) claims to have used plant-based biomass to create blades that can be completely broke down at the end of their operational lifetime and refabricated into new products. So, how do they do that then?\n\nHelp support this channels independence at\nhttp://www.patreon.com/justhaveathink\n\nOr with a donation via Paypal by clicking here\nhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick\u0026hosted_button_id=GWR73EHXGJMAE\u0026source=url\n\nYou can also ... | By Just Have a Think Read more ...

Arctic Sea Ice minimum 2024. Three degrees Celsius warming now baked in! - Just Have A Think (Sep 15, 2024) |

Sep 15, 2024 · Arctic Sea ice reaches it's minimum extent each year around the middle of September. This year is one of the lowest in recorded history. Ocean temperatures have been so 'off the charts' in 2023 and 2024 that scientists fear those waters have reached their capacity to mop up after us humans and are now starting to release that energy. On our current trajectory, by 2100, our planet will reach a temperature not seen for 3 MILLION years!.

Land based microbes have been discovered that have learnt how to digest certain plastics, but new research has now discovered that nature is at it in our oceans as well! So has evolution gifted us a solution to the Great Pacific Garbage patch?

New report: Biomass CO2 emissions 4X higher than COAL!! - Just Have A Think (Aug 25, 2024) |

Aug 25, 2024 · Biomass is touted as a sustainable, 'net-zero' alternative to fossil fuels. It's even recommended by organisations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the UK Climate Change Committee. But environmental groups and scientists have disputed this claim for many years, and now new research shows that burning biomass releases much more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere than burning coal or gas.

Fresh water with 80% energy savings. Revolutionising desalination! - Just Have A Think (Aug 18, 2024) |
|
Aug 18, 2024 · According to UNICEF, one in four people globally doesn’t have safe drinking water in their homes and nearly half the world’s population lacks safely managed sanitation. And according to the World Bank, in many of the hottest and driest regions across a hundred and fifty countries, desalination of seawater is the only thing keeping about three hundred million people alive. Now an Australian research team has come up with perhaps the simplest and cheapest way to produce fresh water yet. And the best part is, it requires less than 20% of the energy used in traditional desalination methods.

Electric vehicle import tariffs are a really dumb idea! Discuss... - Just Have A Think (Aug 11, 2024) |

Aug 11, 2024 · Electric Vehicles are coming our way from China like a tsunami over the horizon. But in some kind of misguided collective homage to King Canute, both the European Commission and the US Government believe they can keep back the tide simply by applying very high tariffs on those imported cars. All rational analysis suggests that strategy is doomed to failure. So what really is the future of East-West transport electrification relations?\n\nHelp support this channels independence at\nhttp://www.patreon.com/justhaveathink\n\nOr with a donation via Paypal by clicking here\nhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick\u0026hosted_button_id=GWR73EHXGJMAE\u0026source=url\n\nYou can also ... | By Just Have a Think Read more ...

Mining companies want to scoop them all up for the valuable elements they contain, like manganese, cobalt and nickel. But new research has demonstrated that those metallic constituents are causing a reaction that creates oxygen in the total absence of sunlight or photosynthesis. So...is it really a good idea to remove them?\n\nLINK TO MAIN RESEARCH PAPER\nhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01480-8\n\nHelp support this channels independence at\nhttp://www.patreon.com/justhaveathink\n\nOr with a donation via Paypal by clicking ... | By Just Have a Think Read more ...

Jun 09, 2024 · Electrifying everything with renewable technologies like solar PV, wind turbines and battery energy storage is a 'holy grail' that energy transition naysayers tell us is an impossible dream. In 2021, an ambitious UK start-up called Xlinks set out to prove that theory wrong, embarking upon a multi-billion dollar project to install 16.5GW of solar, wind and battery capacity in Morocco that will provide enough energy to run 7 million British homes for more than 20 hours a day, all year round, via four 4,000km subsea HVDC cables.

Sodium-ion batteries in the USA. Beating China at their own game! - Just Have A Think (May 19, 2024) |

May 19, 2024 · China has cornered the market in green energy transition technologies in recent years, and very effectively gained control of raw material supply chains so any other country has to go through them to get things done. There is one notable exception though. Sodium. It's so ubiquitous that even China can't monopolise it as a commodity. And that means European and US battery makers have spotted a chink in the Great Dragon's armour!

The cost savings, energy efficiency improvements, and speed of installation that those materials are facilitating may just make the difference in the race for decarbonisation.
