However the principal requirement is to reduce the Carbon Intensity. Over the next few decades, we must drive the Carbon Intensity down near zero. There is one country that has done a good job, sweden. Sweden has decarbonized its electricity, which is provided by Nuclear Power and hydropower. They have one more big step to make, to make liquid fuels from electricity. Thats actually not difficult, but they are a small country and have not developed that industry. Why is the rest of the world not driving Carbon Intensity down . It is because fossil fuels appear to the consumer to be the cheapest energy. Fossil fuels are not really the cheapest energy. They are not required to pay for the human health costs of air pollution and Water Pollution or for the costs of Climate Change. The public picks up the tab. So the required policy is to put a gradually rising fee on carbon, collected from fossil fuel companies at the first domestic sale, at the mine or port of entry, and 100 of the money s

Absolutely. Thanks for coming. Thank you. O dr. Tamosaitis . The retaliation against me started after i raised technical issues that had Nuclear Safety implications. My concerns centered around the buildup of hydrogen gas, which could cause a hydrogen explosion, the buildup of plu tone upat the bottom of the tanks which could cause a criticality and the plugging of pipelines which could render the plant inoperable for years. The issues i raised not only had Nuclear Safety implications, but coul
