  1.  @DisposableSupervillainHenchman  and then the company you moved to gets bought out by a similar equity firm......

  2. Farmers make the Best mechanical engineers too (overall). They've been working with belts, gears, pumps, fans, hydraulics, electricity, structures, engines, mechanisms, and far more for Years before they get to college to learn the theory behind all the concepts they already know and intuitively understand.

  3. coal burning power plants, gas fired power plants, nuclear powered plants, nuclear carriers and submarines, etc. are all steam powered. the world still runs on steam.

  5. "ironclad science of climate change"? clearly you don't know much about science.

  8. Either model planes after the Celera 500 and run them on hydrogen fuel cells, or you're going to need much better batteries in terms of energy density and sufficient battery swapping logistical support, or it's never going to happen.

  9.  @geyrek5955  that's beside the point. But, a gas turbine, steam turbine, and hydro dam turbine are all basically the same thing in the end. They just use burnt fuel, steam, or water/gravity to spin the "same" turbine.

  10.  @taylorstern2732  a reactor is nothing more than a heat source for the steam generator. You can swap the reactor for a gas boiler, or a coal boiler, or solar boiler. but the steam generator remains and is the device that generates the electricity. According to you a coal fired power plant doesn't use steam either, but rather "flame powered". Do you know what a flame is? a chemical reaction between two atoms or molecules of atoms. Doesn't that really make flame-based heat sources nuclear too, in a way? If you want to split hairs, we can do it all day long. But without the steam generator, nuclear reactors don't generate electricity efficiently.

  14.  @tonii5690  My comment says nothing of the sort. But his video says short haul is the future, ignoring the fact most flights are much longer than that. Yes, given where I live and how far I can expect to drive in a single day, 300miles is NOT enough from an electric car, I can get 400-800 miles out of my car on a single tank depending on time of year and how I'm driving it. Not to mention recharge times and infrastructure compared to refueling. Also, living in a colder climate, you can lose 30% battery capacity for half the year, meaning that 300mile car is only 200 miles, once again, not nearly enough. I drive 200 miles just to see my sisters on a weekend, or to got to another city to see a museum or attend a show on a weekend. I can't park and charge at my destination, so how do I get home? As of now, physics regarding airplanes and batteries is not viable for regular air travel. As I pointed out in another comment on this video, if they model new planes after the likes of the Celera 500, and use hydrogen fuel cells, they might have something. Otherwise energy density of batteries needs to get Massively better, as well as battery swapping infrastructure to support it, because trying to wait to charge a battery for a commercial sized plane is not going to be practical in any way. Never mind the lack of electrical grid infrastructure to support all this. We need to start building nuclear SMR/thorium reactors Now by the thousands, or it's Never going to happen. Do the math, look at the physics, check the aerodynamics, see for yourself.
