Could Advanced Nuclear Reactors Fuel Terrorist Bombs?

Cars That Think

Various scenarios to getting to net zero carbon emissions from power generation by 2050 hinge on the success of some hugely ambitious initiatives in renewable energy, grid enhancements, and other areas. The Science paper is not the first to argue for a reevaluation of the nuclear proliferation risks of HALEU fuel.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when running on electricity. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.

Greenlings: Benefits of charging stations vs. battery swaps vs. home charging

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The demands on the grid would require a lot of infrastructure work without some sort of "energy reservoir" in place.
