  1.  @jesan733  New nuclear has only been killed in a couple of countries like America and Australia. If you want to complain about any of the subsidies that the Renewable Energy sector has got then FINE. But I want to know what you are going to tell the Coal, Oil & Gas companies who get something like $3 TRILLION in tax breaks, subsidies and other incentives each year. Hear in Australia our gas companies have stated on there yearly reports they have made over $400 Billion over the last decade and NOT PAID A CENT IN TAX because they all got insanely good concessions. I don't mind anyone commenting on the subsidies and grants to renewables BUT FOR F*CK SAKE STOP IGNORING WHAT THE FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES GET.

  2.  @dwayne7356  Great comment on all points. Another Australian Simon Michaux has looked at how much stuff is needed and in terms of things like Lithium at current production we can't do it. There's 1.5 Billion cars registered in the world and 500 million trucks. (that data is on Wikipedia). A Tesla model 'S' needs 62.6kg of Lithium. Just for argument say we only need 50kg for a car on average (to make the math easy). Those 1.5 billion cars need 75 million tons of Lithium. It took me seconds looking on Wikipedia (under Lithium) to find "The US Geological Survey (USGS) estimated worldwide identified lithium reserves in 2020 and 2021 to be 17 million and 21 million tonnes, respectively." The KNOWN reserves are a fraction of what's needed. Also current Lithium production is about 80,000t and at that rate it'll take around 1,000 years. As Simon Michaux says (and I don't agree with all he says) "Its not impossible but we need a better plan."

  4. ​ @sharemyjoys  I watch Rosie often and she's very good for a University based person. I rarely disagree with her and its usually on things I have industrial experience on that she doesn't. On those coal fired power stations. I agree they are uneconomical to maintain but it depends on what you replace them with as to whether the replacement is economical or NOT. Those sites still have the grid connection and if the replacement can utilise that connection then it can be very economical. Hazelwood in Victoria was 1,600MW and so it had a 1,600MW grid connection. The European EPR is also 1,600MW so could be very economical. Although I'd be more inclined towards the Canadian CANDU because its quicker and cheaper. Even if they've pulled down that connection there's still the alley way it ran through and land costs money. So the economics relies on the planning and what you are doing.

  5. He's still got feet and meters confused like many American's do. The Tallest turbines in the world are about 1,000ft high NOT 1,000m 1,000 ft is still damn impressive - that's the standard circuit height for light aircraft.

  8.  @Antropovich  Take note of the little red line under words. At the very least it means that spell check doesn't recognise the word. (It just did it for me. I hit ; instead of ' in the word doesn't) Fair call on the languages. Whenever I do use another language, which isn't often, I'll use google translate. I know its not perfect so I always include my original English. If I am translating someone else's comment I'll ask if the translation is what they meant.

  9. We actually don't export bauxite we export Alumina (Aluminium Oxide). The first step in producing Aluminium is the extract Alumina from the bauxite. That's fairly high energy process but no where near the next step which is smelting the Alumina into Aluminum as well as making the alloys needed for various applications. We export Alumina to places like Canada and Iceland both of them have access to very cheap hydro.

  12.  @nagasako7  Do you by chance watch the YT channel Sub Brief? Its hosted by an Ex-USN Sonar operator and his vids on various ship & sub types is very good. In recent months he has also done a couple of videos on the state of US Shipyards. Regarding the contracts for US Drydocks he described them as criminal. FYI - I'm Australian and believe we are being ripped off on the Virginia-class deal and for several reasons. 1) The costs are utterly ridiculous. 2) We are paying Several billion to upgrade Hutting Ingles shipyard in Maine which is BULLSHlT. 3) Most of all we simply can't use them because they have a massive crew size and our navy can barley operate subs with 1/2 the crew size now.

  14.  @daniellarson3068  Buddy I was in Canada late 2017 in Saskatchewan when they had a cold snap that lasted 3 days. I'm an engineer and was on site for a project. The other guys had gone back to Regina for a couple of days over Xmas. I woke up 1 morning and EVERY channel was flashing a severe weather alert. The numbers for they day were morning -30C, afternoon -28C and evening -32C with anywhere up to -50C. I switched to the news and they said "Don't go outside unless is absolutely necessary. Hospitals are already reporting the first amputations." I called the guys I was working with who were about 400km away in Regina. They said don't touch any metal that is connected to the outside like the front door knob or I could lose my hand. At those temperatures skin sticks to metal like its coated in super glue. There was a young cop living across the street and he checked on me each day. Yeah Canadians really are that polite. In those 3 days 14 of the 15 coldest temperatures on the planet were all recorded in central Canada and I was right in the middle of that zone. It was colder than the North Pole. So yeah buddy I do appreciate what our weather is like in Australia.

  15. Mark Blyth has an interesting take on this. its from the Q&A after a lecture on Global Trumpism in 2019, but its as relevant now as it was then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGuaoARJYU0&t=4795s If you have time the whole thing is worth watching.

  16. ENGINEER HERE: One thing I wish Peter would be more clear about is that we would be doing the energy transition ANYWAY. Forget green or anything else for a moment and realise that modern societies need energy to simply function. You need energy to turn on the lights, supply water to your home, store your food, cook your food and take away your crap when you flush the toilet. Then when you leave the house you need energy for everything else. One of the consequences of privatising so much of our societies following the Reagan-Thatcher revolution was that we STOPPED spending enough on certain parts of the infrastructure to keep up with the needs of our societies. Just population growth alone increases the demands on energy supply. Forget how you generate energy, if the population goes up 50% then the energy they need goes up 50%. The only way to change that is with more energy efficient end user products, but that only goes so far. Right now the entire developed world is suffering from an energy crisis that started in the 1980s when Reagan and Thatcher started to privatise everything they could and then everyone else followed. We don't generate enough energy and the energy generation systems we have ARE OLD and NEED TO BE REPLACED. There have been dozens of power stations turned off for the simple reason they got old and wore out and now they need to be replaced. We now need to replace a lot of hardware and we were ALWAYS going to have to replace it. Things don't last forever. Its just happening at a time when we are also changing HOW WE GENERATE and distribute energy.

  18. I'm Australian but went to college in America. I wished our government here would have a similar attitude. We also got stuck in that Reaganomic/Thatcherism neoliberal globalist B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T. It has been devastating to our industries. There's a string of economic leaders from BOTH SIDES of our politics and they are HATED FOR IT.

  19.  @TheAngelOfDeath01  Ouch! I'm an Australian so I see Brexit from the outside looking in. Initially it looks stupid and to some extent still looks epically stupid. Although there are some starting to wonder if its not bad as Europe has some very serious issues. The most stupid and ridiculous aspect of Brexit and its a lesson for everyone. If you get what you wish for you better have plans on what to do with it. The most obvious person who has NEVER BEEN held to account over the whole Brexit fiasco is NIGEL FARAGE. How crap of a person is he to set Brexit in motion and once he gets what he campaigned for just walks away to leave others to clean it up? Currently he trapes around the world asking people TO PAY to hear him speak. I think the subtitle to his life is "Here's how I screwed my country over. Now please pay me money to tell you how fantastic I am!"

  20.  @TheAngelOfDeath01  Its not just the Torries its pretty much the entire Western Democratic political system. Its just that the Torries are doing it a bit worse than others right now. Even the Left wing parties aren't that left anymore. If you think about British Labor, Australian Labor and any of the other Leftist parties they are mainly full of lawyers, and other professionals who just lean left on social issues. Sorry this is a long reply/comment. You are dead right it goes back to Reagan & Thatcher, but its worse than you think. I'm actually an Australian engineer but I went to college in America where they don't have a Left at all. They just have one of their right wing parties not as far right as the other. A few years ago I started looking into economics because I got fed up with clowns with economics degrees interfering in engineering projects. When I mean interfering I mean billion dollar interference too, not just million dollar simple stuff. One of the things I found out is that ALL ECONOMICS CURRICULIUMS have at their core the same neoliberal economic ideology. In case you didn't know - what started as Reaganomics and Thatcherism is now called neoliberalism. Its all centred around Milton Freidman's "Greed is good" and "Corporations have no other responsibility than to deliver profits to their owners & shareholders."_ That's driven this incredible 45+ year wage stagnation that's highlighted by Branco Milanovic's famous "Elephant Graph." BECAUSE even the left leaning parties are full of people who did the same economics classes with the same ideology AND all the central banks are run by people who also learnt the same economics, we now have this insanity where there is almost NOTHING NEW in economic thinking. They all know there's something wroing but they can't conceive of any solutions other than interest rates and deregulation. If you don't know who Mark Blyth is then you need to start there. He's one of a lose collection of maverick economist or people associated with economics who's trying to bring this to light. He's coined the term "Angrynomics." What he's saying in a nutshell is we should have had a system UPGRADE after 2008. Instead what we got was a reboot and patch. The result of that are system glitches like Brexit and the current energy crisis which I can tell you as an engineer who has learnt about economics is about to crash the entire global economy and it has NOTHING to do with climate change or the war in Ukraine. But that's another very long comment Here's Marks intro to Angrynomics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXJD5rE4omY Here's to longer explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJoe_daP0DE

  21.  @warfarenotwarfair5655  The snarky anti-American attitude isn't towards you or the American people its aimed at the American government and in particular unelected American bureaucrats who do stuff around the world. I'm Australian but went to college in America on a sports scholarship. So I love America and the people and the culture. BUT when it comes to understanding the rest of the world Americans are very poorly educated. Do you ever bother to ask what it is that people don't like about America? Australia has exactly the same problem with respect to the Pacific Island nations. We treat them the same way America treats Mexico and the rest of central and south America - LIKE CRAP. We interfere in their governments and use their people as cheap labor AND THEY DON'T LIKE IT. We spend lots of money in those countries. It never seems to do anything other than fuel corruption which annoys Australians, so we complain about it and tell them not to be snarky as they're wasting our money. This snarky attitude isn't about you or any other American in general. Its about the attitude of your government, which just like mine is run by unelected manipulative self righteous a-holes. Did you or any American ever vote for people like Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Miller or John Bolton? How about John Yoo? He was the Lawyer who told Bush and Cheney they could torture people so long as they called it "enhanced interrogation techniques." He was the guy who approved all the stuff at places like Abu Ghraib. You know the stuff other Americans went to jail for. Did you or any American ever vote for him? Do you ever hold any of those people accountable? Its not about you.

America is involved in Ukraine which is a great distraction from other things. China is trying to fix more leaky holes than they have fingers to stuff in them. Meanwhile Europe doesn't know if its speaking German, Italian, French or Spanish and the Brits don't know if they will still be able to launder Russian money next week to pay for the soccer players..

  25. For Peters NEXT tank video he needs to CLARIFY WHAT HE MEANS, because as an Australian I know we have been operating the M1 Abrams for over a decade (since 2007) and I am pretty sure we don't send them back to America every time they need service. Australia has 59 of the M1A1 variant but we have ordered more and there is an upgrade plan in place as well, but that is NOTHING. The Egyptians have 1,130 M1A1, The Saudis have 373 M1A2S, Kuwait has 218 M1A2 and Iraq 321 M1A1M just to name a few. I am fairly certain NONE of those countries send their tanks back to America for servicing either. HOWEVER. The US operates the latest variants. These are the Systems Enhancement Packages (SEP) variants which are now up to up to version 3. America has 1,605 M1A2 SEPv2 and 154 M1A2 SEPv3. There are some 3,700 A1M1 and other variants in storage. Plus the Marines are dropping the Abrams all together as part of their "Force Design 2030" program. So my bet is America will pull some of its OLDER M1A1 variants that have NOT been upgraded and send those to Ukraine. That will still be a challenge as the Abrams uses a gas turbine NOT a diesel engine.

  28. Back in the early 1700s when the British were going head to head with the Spanish in the War of the Spanish Succession and they needed more men and more ships they started enlisting and paying what they called "privateers." This wasn't the first time in history that a state or nation had employed mercenaries, but it was the first time a major global power had done it at that sort of scale and over such a vast area. It worked really well right up until the British and Spanish signed a peace treaty and ended their war (1715). In a heartbeat all those "privateers" became unemployed BUT still had their ships, cannons, pistols,... etc. It didn't go well for anyone and the "privateers" found new employment as pirates. Most people know about the pirates in the Caribbean but they also rampaged across the Indian Ocean, the North American eastern seaboard, and the West African coast. They go so bad that these once loyal defenders of the British Empire became labelled Hostis humani generis (Latin for 'an enemy of mankind'). Note: the American's also tried this style of war in Iraq and Afghanistan with outfits like Blackwater. It didn't go well and bad things happened like the Nisour Square massacre in 2007. One day governments will work out that todays "privateer" is tomorrows pirate and end up costing a lot more.

  29. Aerospace Engineer here - You are 100% CORRECT This is Peter YET AGAIN proving that he DOES NOT know a damn thing about engineering. Its NOT just Peter its lots of people who just regurgitate what they hear without thinking. I have personal interest in energy these days because there's a genuine crisis emerging in Australia (my country). In just the last few days I have seen Peter, Scott Galloway and Patrick Boyle who are all intelligent and well educated people make complete idiots of themselves with comments on nuclear energy. One of the dumbest was Scott Galloway saying you can "recycle nuclear fuel." Its idiotically wrong. You can reprocess fuel pellets to recover unspent fuel but that's NOTHING like recycling. In the past I have heard Peter say things about other energy sectors (oil & gas, solar & wind and nuclear) that are SIMPLY WRONG. Its so frustrating to watch people who are smart and very good in their areas of expertise make stupid mistakes and claims in engineering topics.

  33.  @crosslink1493  Go and look how its done. Its a technology that's incredibly well developed. The manufacturing was sorted out decades ago. A lot of the propellant combinations were sorted out decades ago. Think about all the air to air, air to ground, surface to air and other missiles. Then there's the boosters used on the rockets that launch satellites. From the smallest of hobby rockets all the way to the giant boosters for SLS its a technology that's incredibly well sorted out. One of my favorite systems is the Pegasus system first developed by Orbital RTK that's now owned by Grumman. It uses a very similar propellant to that used in the Space Shuttle and SLS boosters. Its incredibly reliable and they can mold it in to various shapes to control the burn. Xyla Foxlin has a great channel here on YT. She's done several rocket videos and gives good details on the motors she uses. One of her rockets did over Mach 2.

  34. Actually this issue of purging in China and that Peter has also pointed out in that Peter has done in Russia does have a Western equivalent. Boris Johnson cleaned out any competition from the British Tory party which is why they were left with Liz Truss. The Australian Libs (funded by Rupert Murdoch) did similar to the Brits and is why they are pretty pathetic right now. BOTH the American Democrats and Republicans have purged themselves. The Democrats got rid of anyone who would not submit to their corporate interests and the Republicans got rid of anyone with a functioning brain. I suspect people will be able to tell us about all sorts of other parties that have similarly purged their ranks of independent brain function so that certain people can maintain control.

  36. Yeah and it never works out as planned. Remember back in the 1980s and and a pack of those geniuses in Washington thought it was really good to train a bunch of hillbillies to shoot down Ruskie choppers with stinger missiles and use other neat stuff to blow shit up? You remember that other time America got itself involved in Afghanistan. How is that working out these days? Right now an awful lot of Russian moms & dads have buried their sons. Does anyone really think they will blame Putin? Which message do you think they are hearing "Vlad got Yuri killed" or "Yuri is dead because the Americans supplied the missile/artillery shell/bullet that killed him." If America doesn't think that's going to come back and bite one day then America hasn't learned anything form the last 100+ years. Forget who started this shitfest. Those moms & dads aren't going say that Vladimir got my "Yuri" killed. They are going to blame G.I. Joe Biden and his buddies in the Pentagon.

  41. Follow up on PART of Petes analysis which I think he has wrong. It would be correct to say the Russians might struggle in those Siberian oil fields as the Americans go home and leave them short handed. But other industries face that all the time and get past it. PLUS - The Americans have been there for 20+ years and in that time there is NO WAY the Russians have not been developing their skills. It does not matter what type of engineer you are or what plant and machinery you provide you TRAIN the locals to look after it. OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T GO HOME. PLUS - when you're the owner of several billion dollars of stuff and the people you rely on just leave town. You will offer serious money to anyone who will help. You can bet that people have already received phone calls and with the right number they will just get back on a plane. Don't forget oil people DO NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT. So if Biden says "NO you can't go," they will just wave the middle finger and go make heaps of money.

  42.  @bluerock4456  Yeah dude I know what sulphur is used for, I've spent most of the last 20 years in mining where its used as the raw ingredient for sulphuric acid to leach minerals from ore. That process is actually pretty clever. They burn the sulphur the same way the burn coal to generate electricity. They capture the SO2, put it through a catalytic converter to get S03 and then mixt with demineralised water to get 100% pure H2SO4. AND YES I have done projects using 100% pure H2SO4 and so long as the people involved know what they are doing is quite safe. As for the crap that comes out of oil its not really used for that sort of stuff. A lot of its pumped back down wells or dumped in Africa. And yeah a couple of guys from Switzerland got caught doing that a few years back. Except they were doing it with Mexican crude not Canadian. Out of the oil industry comes some really nasty shit.

  44.  @SkyRiver1  We have the same problem in Australia all over the place and in every industry. Its one of the collection of economic policies that comes out of Chicago School economics that we now call neoliberalism. It started with Reaganomics in America and Thatcherism in Britain and has infected the entire developed world while screwing the non-developed world. There was a damning as all hell report by the Rand Corporation a couple of years ago into wages and an even more damning report September 2022 by the US Congressional Budget Office into Family Wealth. Once you start to get your head around how much money the Top 10% and in particular the Top 1% have taken in the last 40 years then its pretty easy to see why so many people think the world is F⋃CKED. If you want to see something really interesting on HOW they get away with it. There's a brilliant documentary called "The Silent Killer of the Middle Class" which is about tax evasion. Its amazing how they do it.

  45.  @chickenfishhybrid44  Do people like EVER bother to read what people are saying before you act like a complete M0R0N? Have you ever stopped to think about who owns the companies doing the damage across Africa, Asia, Central & South America? Its mostly a collection of European and AMERICAN companies. Yeah sure I know the Chinese are among the worst - they have damaged or destroyed over 20,000 waterways in the last 30 or so years. Then there's their coal issue. Yeah sure I know the Indians do stuff like pump raw untreated sewerage into their rivers by the cubic meter per second. I've seen the footage and its pretty ghastly. Hey why don't you check out what the AMERICAN oil companies did in Central and South America. Look up what Texaco (now part of Chevron) did while drilling in the Lago Agrio oil field of Ecuador. That's part of the case where Chevron had a lawyer (Steven Donziger) imprisoned in America for refusing to hand over confidential client information.

The only difference is when they do it INSIDE America there's still a chance the victims can get compensation in the courts.

  47. SORRY PETER, but your economics of construction is a giant pile of BULLSHlT and if you bothered to ever talk to an engineer who actually understands project engineering and project management you'd know why. The rest of this is pretty good and your points on people NOT budgeting for the resources needed to construct this is spot on. Unfortunately on that subject if you try and tell the Greenies about the materials issues they freak out and respond in some pretty ugly ways. Here's some basics on construction versus operation. 1) When you are in construction YOU DO NOT BUDGET for operational costs like fuel and maintenance that is the job of others. 2) If you are going to compare construction costs then COMPARE construction costs not a mix and match with operational costs or you just confuse things which you have done. 3) When you build any power station you can start making money as soon as you have any of your generating units commissioned and connected to the grid. COMPARING SOMETHING LIKE A BIG NUCLEAR/COAL PLANT VERUS A BIG WIND FARM IS PRETTY SIMPLE With large nuclear or coal plants you have to wait until it is 100% complete before you can start earning money. That can be a huge amount of capital spent over several years (or even a decade) paying interest or not paying dividends before you even start earning money and even THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY BACK THAT CAPITAL BEFORE you actually break even. If you are building a 100 turbine wind farm (it makes the percentage sign easier to use). When you have the first turbine up you are 1% finished but you can start earning money to help pay for the rest of construction. When you are 10% complete you can earn 10 times the money you earned from when you are 1% complete. When you are 50% complete you can earn 50 times the money you earned from when you are 1% complete *AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED ANY CAPITAL TO FINISH THE PROJECT. This is also part of the business strategy behind the Small Modular Nuclear Reactors. As soon as the first reactor is in it can start earning money and help pay for the other reactors. I love your work on geopolitics and strategies BUT PLEASE TALK TO SOME ENGINEERS. YES I know we are pains in the butt, but then do you want to be called out by one of us?

  48. I think you'll find that every time he's said Biden would win and win by a long way there were conditions and a few times Peter mentioned his age but NOT as the number 1 item on the list AND ITS NOW number 1 on the list. So it would be interesting to see Peter do a thorough review of Bidens current state because I don't think anyone outside of the Whitehouse knew how bad Joe had gotten. The debate was a catastrophe and the interviews since disasters. In a very short time Biden went from "He's viable because he's NOT Trump!" to He's not there and he is NOT fit to do the job. The jokes about Biden not realising he was trying to change TV channels with the nuclear football aren't so funny right now. The major issue is how do the Democrats deal with it and so far their campaign of denial, denial and more denial is only making things worse.

  49.  @jnc07res  I'm Australian and from the outside looking in Kamala is the Dr Phil candidate. You know when Dr. Phil says "WHAT were you thinking?" Have they forgotten just how awful she was as a campaigner 4 years ago in the primaries? She could NOT even win her home state. She was picked as another "DO nothing, SAY nothing, THINK nothing VP" who's only task was to wave, smile and make Biden look good (or at least better) in 2020. For Trump the only thing that might be as good as Joe refusing to go would be the DNC stomping on everyone else to give Kamal the nod. The one thing I have seen NOBODY suggest would be someone like Gavin Newsom running and Kamal staying on as VP because that would freak Trump out. But I doubt her ego would take that.

  50.  @saamohod  Well we don't now exactly how he died YET. I just watched Peter's vid on Navalny and he mentions is that Navalny wasn't being treated well. I'm certain there'll be many claims, but there'll only be 1 fact everyone agrees on and that's Navalny is dead.
