It's real predictions and a real risk:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_uranium
And the idea is that if we would create a ton more reactors that we still would need to solve real issues with uran.
And besides this issue, look at who owns uran and who consumes it.
There should be a huge motivation for the USA to start harvesting much more energy from the sun alone for u depends reasons alone.
We know for quite a while how little solar we need globally and we know how to do it but we just don't do it.
He clearly can't build a nuclear power plant so what he can do is build solar and wind.
And sure nuclear has plenty of problems like amount of uran, cooling water in the summer etc.
Independent of this, we have not even seen yet how a real solar society would look like because while we installed plenty, we have not really started to install what would be possible.
It should be a total no brainer for everyone to want to leverage their roof real estate by investing in solar.
We have not leveraged yet the potential solar and wind have. They are easy to build easy to understand, make you self sufficient and are now the cheapest option from all.
In parallel there are plenty of countries who have lots of space and uran and could do more nuclear (ignoring the storage issue).
And geothermal is a good option in plenty of countries as well.
But funny enough people still think that nuclear IS THE solution while ignoring that the thorium reactor is still not viable, that we don't have enough uran and that they are highly dependent on water for cooling which becomes a big problem in the summer for plenty of countries.
Let's finally stop talking about our future energy mix and trying to do the best option for were you are.
We need to get a ton of energy changed from high co2 production to the lowest possible very fast.
And btw. Whoever this dude is he is probably not someone who would be able or allowed to build a nuclear reactor so his best option is probably to still be in the solar business.
I disagree on this sentiment, I don't care if there is an dehumanizing number for me in a ad context. I would prefer it over a personal id.
Anyway I still care much more for having a cure for my chronic pain.
Good for you if you don't need this.
They know how they make their money and don't hide it. But they make you as an individual disappear.
It's a much better compromise than from any other company and they drive this topic for years.
Google maps was and still is free, available and changed lives.
GCP is extremely innovative. From full end to end encryption including encryption on rest.
Google workspace works like a charm.
They have well working ML in all newer pixel phones for images etc.
They have tons of bleeding edge research papers on so many different ml topics (are you aware of their research blog?)
Google has one of the best / if not the best certified cloud env in the world. They already work with the biggest health service provider in the USA.
A proper MRI is expensive, the analysis is slow and need experts etc.
There are plenty of things to optimize.
And when we are done with us, it has to reach the next level to become so cheap and easy to use that everyone on our planet has access to it.
Because I do and you know how scattered the field of medicine is?
There is one realistic way of getting more people with chronic issues new threatments and it's data. Lots and lots of it.
IF someone can pull that of while protecting the individuals I believe it's alphabet. Together with deep mind and all the other research they do.
The end result was alcohol below 10%
