ITER has made the strongest magnet in the world, "capable of lifting an aircraft carrier". Guess we're due for a Carmen Sandiego heist any day now.

My annual decarbonization presentation is here.

200 slides, covering everything from water levels in Lake Gatún to sulfur dioxide emissions to ESG fund flows to Chinese auto exports to artificial intelligence. www.nathanielbullard.com/presentations

Do you think that nuclear fusion is the energy source of the future? - Anyways, here is my Acid Trance Track "Tokamak" for the time being.

Download "Tokamak" of free or pay what you want. It's on Bandcamp: engineeer.bandcamp.com/track/tokamak

This is the basic problem of all fusion science

Follow up to the last skeet - UK gov DESNZ announces next tranche of state backing for nuclear fusion energy. £410 mn to extend the UK's lead in this technology.

If you want a measure of how close nuclear fusion energy is now, here are the hardnosed engineering firms _competing_ to get a slice of the supply chain for constructing power plants.

I really enjoy the science and climate community here and I would love for it to grow. If you’re still on X, why not use it to invite people to come over here? I do, every week!

RT if you agree 😁

Timeline:

1820s - Fourier suggests greenhouse analogy to explain Earth’s temperature

1850s - Foote & Tyndall show CO2, CH4 & H2O are key atmospheric ingredients for greenhouse effect

1890s - Arrhenius estimates amount of warming if CO2 is doubled

1930s - Callendar observes CO2 increase & warming

An EU 90% greenhouse gas emission reduction target means massive acceleration of electrification:

Share of electricity of final energy consumption increases from currently 25% to 62% in 2050.

Electricity demand is 3x higher in 2050 compared to today.

🧪 As teased yesterday - there's a new world record of 69 megajoules of fusion energy, released in a single shot at the JET tokamak or Joint European Torus!
