We need to reduce carbon emissions but still need more energy than ever before due to a rapid growing population. So what are our options? A lot of you probably have heard of or already understand how renewable energy works. Great! But I want to go through some of the common technologies for renewable energy, how they work (for the unaware) and discuss their importance on our future, from my point of view. Let's get started!\n\nAs you may have guessed from the opener, which I may have somewhat borrowed from a famous comic book, the first post of the series is nuclear power.\n\nOHH MY GOODNESS NOT NUKES! THOSE ARE DANGEROUS!\n\nWell, let's see if I might just change your mind.\n\nNow nuclear energy is fantastically powerful i.e. Hiroshima (bomb), Chernobyl (meltdown), and along with that great power, comes great... responsibility? Oops, wrong reference.\n\nOr maybe not? Nuclear power has tremendous potential but is also dangerous in certain circumstances. First, let's understand nuclear energy in its simplest terms. Where does all its energy come from?\n\nWell, nuclear gets its name from the nucleus of an atom. Atoms are the tiny things everything is made of. An atom's nucleus, like a core, is made up of two different things; protons and neutrons. Now before you click away because of how scientific this is getting, just hold on. I will help you understand this through my very very expert writing skills. We'll use a bag of marbles as an analogy to the atom.\n\nThere are yellow and blue marbles in the bag. Usually there are an even number, or very close to even number of yellow and blue marbles in the bag. Now, the bigger the bag, the more marbles can fit. Makes sense right? So we just learned that atoms have protons and neutrons and the bigger the atom, the more neutrons and protons it contains. Awesome, this is a good start! Atoms also have electrons but we'll leave those for another day.\n\nNow, there is a force, called The Strong Force, that holds the nucleus together. If I've learned one thing from science, it's that scientists aren't very creative in their naming conventions. Anyways, when this Strong Force is overcome or overpowered, the nucleus splits, like literally tears apart. And that releases a TON of energy. This is where nuclear fission generates power.\n\nYou just learned what nuclear fission is! You're welcome, go tell your friends!\n\nNow in history, well, very recent history and even today, fission is used in two ways. For power generation, and for absolute destruction.\n\nNow since nuclear is such a big, and complex topic, I will split the post, much like the atom in a fission reaction, into two separate posts. This one focusing on nuclear fission, and the next on nuclear fusion. To me, fusion is the fun one, and where the world is heading in the next few decades. But I will talk more about that next time.\n\nYou may have heard of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. These are the two cities in Japan where at the end of World War II, the United States dropped the first nuclear bombs. There are images online of the destruction and fallout from these actions, which led to ending the war. But at cost?\n\nThrough the research and technology developed from building nuclear bombs, the concept was later adapted into a method of power generation. It was great! Back then, people thought that nuclear power from fission was going to yield free and endless power to everyone. It was thought as the power of the future, and it was spectacular, until one disaster in the Ukraine.\n\nThe main difference between a nuclear bomb and a nuclear reactor is controlling the reaction. In a bomb, the nuclear fuel is free to unleash all it's power at once, in the uncontrollable fury of the explosion. But a nuclear power reactor uses the same fuel source and slows the reaction to a controllable rate.\n\nChernobyl was a city where a nuclear fission power plant stood, and still stands, sort of. Now I won't go into how a fission reactor works precisely, but essentially the reactor heats water to generate steam to crank a shaft to generate electricity. Now you can image that all the energy that is produced from controlled fission generates a lot of heat. If cooling of the reactor fails or doesn't cool the reactor sufficiently, the reactor can go into \"meltdown\". This is what happened to the Chernobyl reactor, causing nuclear waste and \"fallout\" to spread through the site and the city nearby.\n\nFallout is the release of nuclear radiation from unreacted nuclear fuel. Now I won't discuss radioactive chemistry or why nuclear radiation remains for so long, but Chernobyl is now a deserted ghost town that will not be livable for thousands of year. That is the risk of nuclear power.\n\nBut disasters like that hardly happen. The last one, in Japan known as Fukushima, was caused not by a systems failure but by a way stronger than ever expected earthquake resulting in a tsunami which left critical systems in the nuclear plant to fail, causing a meltdown. Unlike Chernobyl, not one death has resulted from the disaster at Fukushima. On the other hand, the release of nuclear waste water spilling into the ocean from the disaster is quite unfortunate and will cause devastating effects on ocean life and potentially affect us as humans.\n\nIt's not looking good for fission. I want to wrap up, since this one is getting a little long. In the 30+ years of humans harnessing fission to generate power, only two major disasters are a result of fission. On the other hand, the majority of fission reactor power plants have very little issues once running smoothly. They produce no carbon emissions as only water vapor, and provide \"clean\" energy all over the world, especially North America.\n\nMaybe fission isn't so bad. Let's face it. Every form of power generation has risks, especially relatively new technologies. They will all have consequences. No one said it would be easy to provide power to 7 and a half billion people. That is what our generation is faced with.\n\nRenewable energy is the future. In the coming weeks, let's explore the other sources of clean energy, and step closer to our goal of a new, clean, and habitable planet.\n\nSee you next time!",

      "body": "I'm 1 view away from 2500! That is amazing to me, thank you all so much for even considering reading what goes on in my head.\n\nAs promised, I want to conclude a small series on climate change with this post. There will definitely be more in the future as the climate change ball is beginning to roll, worldwide.\n\nObama stated quite a bit about it in his state of the union, which I missed the beginning of, but just by him, the most powerful influencer on the planet, saying something about it is a huge step forward. He has said in the past, \"We are the first to see the effects of climate change, and we are the last that can do something about it.\" ... At least I think Obama said that. Either way, it's 100% the truth and I commend him on his actions toward a better future for our Earth.\n\n\nSo far I have mentioned that climate change is a big deal, and we're already seeing its effects. I have also talked about what a greenhouse gas is and what their effects are. Here, I will HAHAHA A SQUIRREL JUST RAN INTO A WINDOW RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Excuse me, that was unprofessional. As I was saying, here, I will discuss a few out of the box ideas that definetly could help the climate change situation, along with standard technologies beginning to take hold right now.\n\nFirstly, fossil fuel elimination for transportation and heating. We still need oil products for everyday items like clothes, furniture, plastic etc., but we can eliminate the use of gasoline, diesel, and natural gas to heat our homes and fuel our cars. If adopted worldwide, renewable energy for these means can and will cause a huge reduction in our greenhouse gas production. We are adopting these technologies already with windmill farms and solar energy cells in deserts, electric cars and buses, and mag-lev trains. It's slow to adopt and a high upfront cost, but as technology improves and becomes more affordable, adoption of these technologies will also increase.\n\nNow you may be thinking, Jay, what the hell, I've been hearing that for years! What ELSE can we do?\n\nHere's the fun stuff.\n\nNow, I won't begin to take credit for any of the following as it is out there, just not in plain view. I want this to open some eyes, and get the creativity flowing. In my last post, I spoke of the greenhouse effect. As a recap, we need this effect to stay warm, and alive. But we're adding to it too fast to sustain! I hope that rings a few bells about the last post. The sun shines on our planet, and some of that light gets reflected back to space. We need a certain balance of reflection and absorption to sustain a climate suitable for our needs. Instead of relying on just ice to do the majority of reflecting, why don't we create more reflective surfaces in our cities? For example, bring your mind back to elementary school where you learned that white or light colours reflect the sun while black and dark colours absorb its heat. Apply that to roads. Pavement, or asphalt is black. Roads are everywhere here in North America. If there was a way to make pavement white, roads could do a lot of the reflecting of the sun's light. This would also help lower the heat in the city, which is a huge benefit especially in the southern US. Easy right? Well, no, because research and implementation costs a lot on top of the already high price to produce and lay asphalt.\n\nWhat else? Well, plants and other greens absorb heat, and CO2. Why don't we put them on top of skyscrapers? This is very low cost and minimal to maintain. Although it seems like a small contribution, what else are we doing with that space? We could even paint the roofs of tall buildings, or all buildings, white to aid in that reflection mentioned above.\n\nAnother idea, although very far fetched, was given by a man in a meeting at Google. I read this in Bill Nye's new book, Unstoppable. The man's idea was to cause bubbles in standing water to raise the reflectiveness of water. Now this is no easy feat, but it makes sense. Bubbles in water, or more scientific, highly turbulent water turns white. White is much lighter than the dark blue colour of most ponds and lakes thus creating a better surface for reflection. These ideas are all small ways to help reduce the power of the sun on our greenhouse of an earth.\n\nThis is just one concept. What other ways could we reduce the effect of rapid heat entrapment in our atmosphere? Simply, how can we cool off the earth? I challenge you to come up with one idea, no matter how small, that could help the climate change cause! It might cost millions of dollar, or it may be as simple as a contraption someone can build in their garage. The fact is that it doesn't matter what the solution is, as long as it is a solution that might help.\n\nAs I learn more and more about climate change, I will continue to post new thoughts and ideas periodically. If you think there are topics related to climate change that I can write about, let me know! Or maybe even topics you want to write about! I say go for it. We are all in this fight together, let's make it happen.",

      "body": "So you're too lazy to do your own research? Or maybe you don't trust the information on wikipedia? (You should, for most cases that is). Well, here comes the Jsaltblog to save you from your looming curiosity.\n\nFirst of all, why do we call the pollution we create "greenhouse gases"? Well, let's look at what pollution we are talking about specifically. I'll focus on the major one in this post, carbon dioxide.\n\nSo what is carbon dioxide? Well, if you take a deep breath in, and feel the air enter your lungs, carbon dioxide is what you're breathing out!\n\nBut this isn't the only source of CO2 (that's how I'll be denoting carbon dioxide, and I'll explain why in a few seconds). CO2 is also produced in combustion, like when you have a bonfire! Combustion is basically just taking something that burns, interacting it with oxygen (which is in the air) and then producing steam (which is just water in gas form) and CO2. Yeah, that's the "explain like I'm 5 years old" version of combustion.\n\nAs you may know, CO2 is a molecular formula, which says to us science types that this "thing", or this gaseous substance, contains one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. Water has one as well! H2O, which means two hydrogen atoms attached to one oxygen atom. Simple right?\n\nOn Earth, we have this thing called the carbon cycle. It takes CO2 from the air and makes oxygen for us to breathe. When we breath, we produce more CO2 in the air and thus the cycle continues. I mean there is more to it than that but that's all we need to know for now.\n\nSo, if this carbon cycle takes care of our CO2 pollution, why are we so worried about greenhouse gases then? Well, since humans started making stuff in big industrial factories, we had to find a way to produce energy. When we produce energy, a lot of times we are heating something to very high temperatures, using that combustion thing I mentioned earlier. Then, the steam or energy we create from combustion is used to turn some mechanical stuff to create electricity! Electricity is why we have what we have today! It's awesome.\n\nBut by burning (combusting) all that stuff to make energy, CO2 is also made, as a by-product. For a long time, when we didn't know about the greenhouse effect, we would just shoot all that CO2 out of the factories and into the atmosphere, where it mixed with all the other stuff up there (like air). We still do that, but its regulated now. But now we have discovered that with all the CO2 we're putting up in the atmosphere, Earth's natural adaptation (nature) cannot keep up! We are overloading the carbon cycle!\n\nAs a consequence, we have more of this big, bulky CO2 molecule in the atmosphere. So what? Gas is transparent, what does it matter?\n\nWell, first, let's look at what a greenhouse does. A greenhouse is a big glass building with plants in it. Greenhouses trap heat from the sun inside so that the plants have a warmer environment to grow in.\n\nThat's interesting, because you can think of our atmosphere as a big window, or a greenhouse for earth! It retains heat from the sun so life can, well, stay alive. We also have ice on Earth. A lot of it, especially at the north and south poles. That ice is responsible for reflecting a lot of the sun's light back out to space. If the Earth retained all the heat from the sun, our planet would look like a desert, without any life on it. We couldn't survive such a harsh environment. So the ice helps regulate the temperature of the air in our atmosphere by reflection.\n\nMake sense so far?\n\nWell with so much CO2 in the atmosphere, the sun's light is getting in, but all that reflected light (that helps us from not burning alive) isn't all getting sent back to space anymore. The more stuff we put in the atmosphere, the less light can leave it. CO2 is the major contributor because we produce SO MUCH OF IT globally. I won't bore you with numbers but it's quite shocking when you see the amount we shoot out now versus less than 100 years ago.\n\nThis is why we call it the greenhouse effect. Over time, a long time, the climate of the earth will change due to the added heat that wasn't there before. That's natural, because the sun gets hotter as it gets older, but as I talked about in the last post, the rate at which the heat it increasing it much too fast due to the greenhouse gasses. This has effects like melting the polar ice which causes rising water/ocean levels leading to mass flooding, and hurricanes.\n\nI hope this gives you a little better of an understanding as to what a greenhouse gas is and why they are dangerous.\n\nNext time, I will explore some of the things we can do to slow down our greenhouse gas contribution and reduce the overall effect of greenhouse gases!\n\nThanks for reading!\nPlease don't hesitate to comment any questions or points I may have missed!",

Yet people cannot get it through their heads that WE HAVE TO ACT NOW.\n\nBut how? Everything we do in society and our economic structure depends on fossil fuels. Literally everything you see RIGHT NOW in plain sight, was likely made with some fossil fuel derivative. It's mind blowing to me that we have become so dependent on one thing as humans, that if it were to disappear tomorrow, we would basically be f*****. That's how serious our dependence on these old dinosaur carcasses we have become.\n\nBut if we want a chance to keep Earth the same as it is (livable), what we take for granted everyday, we would need to halt all greenhouse gas production, today. Seriously, it has become that bad. But how? Like I just mentioned, we couldn't sustain our lives if this were the case. So what do we do?\n\nWell, that's the question of the century is it not? At this point, we cannot make such drastic changes for energy production. But because these large scale changes cannot be made so quickly, should we just ignore the fact that our planet is basically undergoing a change so fast most of our grandchildren may not survive it? No. If your answer was yes, leave this page because I "can't even". Thank you for the page view though!\n\nSome people may think "what's the harm of a 1 or 2 degree increase in climate?" Well, it's not that Earth cannot sustain such climates, but the rate at which the climate is changing is too fast to sustain, hence snow in Texas, hurricanes and floods everywhere you look. Shit, as they say, is HITTING THE FAN and still, we as a society aren't doing enough. Because, politics. Money, energy demand, all this crap we think is vital to life when eventually it will mean nothing when we cannot breath the air in our atmosphere. I may be overemphasizing since this won't happen for centuries, but it doesn't change the fact that it will happen. We basically already ruined the Earth for hundreds of years and well, there is still time to help. Small changes is what we have to begin thinking about. It's not an all or nothing complex, gradual changes, although seemingly small, will help. And we need to understand that.\n\nOur focus needs to be shifted from MONEY MONEY MONEY and to LIFE LIFE LIFE. It's that simple.\n\nOver the next few posts, I am going to continue to follow the climate change trend in these posts. Some concepts, ideas, hopefully help the understanding of climate change and voice my opinion. Hell, maybe you'll learn something and share your new found knowledge.\n\nUnfortunately,  I do not have the skills, or time commitments to grow this base to the scale of millions, but the information is out there and the more and more talk that can be mustered from this content, the outreach ball begins to roll.\n\nI want to do my part, big or small. And I am sure some of you out there do too. But before any changes can be made, understanding the problem is the first, and one of the biggest steps. I encourage you, if you've made it this far, to tell people about climate change, the problems, the ideas, and hopefully learn something in the process. \n\nHere's to a livable earth in the future. Let's make a difference.",
