US scientists may have found a way
to produce clean energy by way of a dirty water
this is according to a new study that's out on Monday
and the way it works is that there's a prototype
about the size other D cell battery and
it consists of two electrodes one positive one negative
and but when you put it into a bottle of waste water filled with bacteria
as the bacteria consume the organic material the microbes cost around the
negative electrode throwing of electrons which are captured in turn
by the positive electrode such a very
a me long-winded way I was saying
we can turn *** water index an energy source
that sounds disgusting but it's also
very good because guess what we're never gonna ridership water has long human
beings are alive
not gonna run outta that but now
they actually call the process fishing for electrons
and scientists knew for a long time that this idea could be done in theory but
they haven't
well-founded a a way to do it relatively
officially until now in other words all other attempts wouldn't get
enough a energy actually justify
trying to do this now they can harness enough energy about 30 percent of the
potential energy and waste water they can harness
that's about the same rate as commercially available solar panels
and they say that the process has another added benefit
they clean the water so you know how
a you note now if you were to go to the bathroom to flush the toilet ago so the
waste treatment plant and they have their ways of doing it now but this is a
whole new
another way to do it and so someone efficient way of doing it
and a cut down a lot of money in that respect and also create energy for us
so this is such a clear example
yet again I love where now
to be fair I'm not saying that they should have known this already because
that information just came out right
but the federal government should look at this and say Inc
we should invest billions of dollars in today s
and do it in it was small towns all across America eventually try to spread
it throughout the power grid
look we have the we have the technology we have the capability
to actually move over to a green economy between solar power and wind power
and now but this waste water power essentially as I guess what we'll call
it right
between story in which is technically nuclear power but for EM
is considered a meltdown proof me what
what I'm there's no better source for energy look
nuclear for energy the only downside oh is that some time %um nuclear ***
meltdowns in Chernobyl happens right
but if you can't assure that normal don't ever happens then of course you
should go and exhaust on May 31 saying that like the perfect
0 way to get energy right we have to install really got invest in it
because it's ok rush right now the industry so crushed right now because
they were heavily investing in it
government Julia maybe we'll do it and but you have the oil companies with a
stranglehold on the government would hold them back from investing in these
things
and/or I have even more news also
but in a but separate story but somewhat related
nitrous oxide which is largely from livestock production
makes up 38 percent I'll agriculture a missions
and it accounts for about one third overall greenhouse gases and it has a
more powerful warming effect
than carbon dioxide or methane and scientists
just discover that a certain type of grass called up
up bra Ciara grasses they inhibit
the release of nitrous oxide so guess what we got another way to curtail
a global warming as time goes by so we were years plant more
above this type a grass in the climates they can support it
you would automatically be reducing carbon emissions
or omissions greenhouse gas emissions and if we
can genetically modify it to be used in any climate which is what scientists
working on now
it's another huge breakthrough welcome to
bottom line I'm trying to get to is we have the science going in the right
direction
and this is with limited means limited resources because we have a sequester in
the United States
which hurts research in the united states right we need to fully fund these
things and then fully fund the solutions if we want to be rational people
but of course the reality is that all politicians are corrupt and are bought
by the oil companies in the fossil fuel industry
so they can sit idly by while we have all the answers waiting to
really make a dent global warming but we don't do it
