What Is Energy?: An Answer Based on the Evolution of a Concept Ricardo Lopes Coelho
This book provides a solution to the problem with the energy concept. This problem manifests itself in the fact that physicists clearly diverge regarding the question of what energy is. Some define it but others state that we do not know what it is.
Really enjoyed my first class on #Energy and the #enviroment today, and am looking forward to hearing the results of my first assignment: have a conversation about #climate and report back to the class. Thanks to @kathhayhoe for pointing me to the #CimateOutreach resources!
If you work for an outlet or publication that’s pulling together an end-of-year book list, I’d love to get you a review copy of #OilBeach for consideration. Let me know! 🛢️ 🏖️ 📙
30-Second Energy charts the fascinating and fundamental topics behind this phenomenon that resides in everywhere and in everything. Exploring energy as it is best understood – by example – discover how it cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Interesting piece from the techie folks at #BBC. I hadn’t really considered the number of folks who listen to radio via their smart TVs. Great opportunity to consume less power when Media companies opt to use a darkened background. I imagine the same holds true for #podcast and #StreamingMusic apps as well.
I wonder what the data looks like for Americans listening to audio content on their TVs?Anybody got a source?
Our high-level nuclear waste, spent fuel from nuclear reactors, is the most substantive creation of human civilization. It will outlast everything else humans have made.
It is how our descendants will know us, we are the people who made that.
How do we warn the 1,000s of generations who will experience risk from this radioactive waste?
@bojacobs@sts@histodons it is mind-warping to think about how long nuclear #waste lasts, but safe locations with extremely low #seismic activity (like #Finland) can be used to safely store waste for 10s of thousands of years. This, together with how small the waste really is, is enough for me to feel safe knowing that #nuclear is part of the #energy chain.
