Day eleven: ☢️💧

“About 90% of the #nuclear generation capacity the #Coalition proposes to build would not have access to enough water to run safely, according to a report commissioned by #LiberalsAgainstNuclear.

The report authored by Prof. #AndrewCampbell, a visiting fellow at the Australian National University (#ANU) , assessed nuclear energy’s #water needs and the available #supply across the seven sites where the Coalition has proposed new reactors.”

“Well done Angus”

If you remember the member for #Hume is insisting the Federal Government if the #LNP wins election will purchase, run and make a profit using nuclear power.

No mention of locations of power generation sites (I assume existing sites) nor is there any mention of #geological, #enviromental or #NuclearWaste disposal studies.

The Chikanishing Trail, Killarney Provincial Park Ontario Canada was a rough, rugged trail over rocky terrain and the odd rickety, weathered wooden bridge or boardwalk. The fall foliage was stunning especially with the pink granite. Click link to view for #FreeShipping North America on #wallart

We have these amazing karst canyons all over the island & on several surrounding gulf islands. Large karst networks of caves & canyons are found in Cowichan Valley, Comox Valley & all through the less populated North Island. Karst sites on Quadra Island & some islands in the Discovery Islands archipelago are being researched. Haida Gwaii has big karst formations network.

I find #geological #karst formations very fascinating. I enjoy exploring them when there's an opportunity to do so. I've found ancient old growth tree crystals in some of the karst formation forests here - they're magical, magnificent & hard to find if you're not looking hard in the right areas.

How new tech is making #geothermal energy a more versatile power source
Geothermal energy iscontinuously radiating from Earth’s super-hot core, has long been relatively niche source of #electricity, largely limited to #volcanic regions like Iceland where hot springs bubble from ground. But geothermal enthusiasts have dreamed of sourcing Earth power in places without such specific #geological conditions—like #ProjectRed’s #Nevada site, developed by #startup #FervoEnergy.

M 4.8 - 6 km ESE of Califon, #NewJersey

A magnitude-4.8 #earthquake rumbled through the northeastern #UnitedStates at 10:23 AM on Friday, acc/to the United States #Geological Survey (#USGS), sending tremors from #Philadelphia to #Boston & jolting buildings in #Manhattan & throughout the 5 boroughs.

The USGS reported that the earthquake’s epicenter was in #Lebanon, NJ about 50 miles west of #NYC, where residents darted into streets wondering what had just happened.

Scientists suggest that despite not officially entering the #Anthropocene, our impact on the planet will be etched in history. The diverse imprints left by #humans on #nature over a vast timeframe pose a challenge for #geological classification. The intricate web of influences we have exerted on the environment defies a singular starting point for this new #epoch.
