Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Calder Hall

    Windscale

    Sellafield's clean up bill is about £100Bn




    Heat flux from the earth is 0.06 W/m² vs bright sunlight at 1000w/m².





    We already have geothermal , the big costs are drilling the holes, and then drilling new ones sometime later when you'd extracted heat stored up over geological time from one area and move on to the next area.

    All this does is replace known water pumping costs with the unknown cost of industrial scale production of graphene. It's not like graphene has replaced metal in any niche uses yet, even in silicon chips that cost more than their weight in gold and where better heat removal is the cheapest way of boosting peak performance.
