We replaced gas boiler with a high temperature hydronic heat pump so we could keep our radiators. It's -15 C outside, and it's still pumping out 55 C water. What remarkable technology!

A new article in Science News Explores features Zap's Chief Scientist Uri Shumlak. Like all energy sources, #fusion adheres to the law of energy conservation, but its exceptionally high energy density means it could power entire cities with a tiny amount of fuel: www.snexplores.org/article/cons...
Energy may seem to disappear, but there’s a law against that
When a ball rolls to stop or a phone battery dies, it’s energy didn't vanish — it just morphed to another form. Energy is always conserved.

Cost Model for Fusion Power Plants
Watch our in-depth webinar introducing the Fusion Cost Model – a first-of-its-kind tool for analyzing the costs structure of commercial fusion power plants.
Developed by Clean Air Task Force and informed by more than a decade of collaboration with fusion developers, industry, leaders and international institutions — including foundational work with Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) — the Fusion Cost Model integrates the most recent insights and methodologies in fusion cost estimation, including safety aspects. The session will walk participants through the model’s structure, key assumptions, and sample outputs, demonstrating how it can inform future innovation and investment in fusion technologies.

Somewhere along the road, folks misunderstood "global warming" to mean—every day is going to be hotter where you live, and not—the entire world is warming on average, even with local swings in temperature. And that is why it matters how we talk about climate change.
