China’s New Breeder Reactors May Produce More Than Just Watts

Cars That Think

is building two fast-neutron nuclear breeder reactors, the first of which is slated to connect to the grid in 2023, the second in 2026. But Russia has decided not to build another one until the 2030s, because they are more expensive than conventional water-cooled reactors. And they are building 250 additional silos. “So

Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. Building every electrolyzer promised for 2030 would provide only about one-sixth of the green hydrogen required to meet climate targets, according to figures from the International Energy Agency in Paris. Yet many more are actually needed.
