Ms. Nuclear Energy is winning over nuclear skeptics

Kaylee Cunningham recognizes that her training as a PhD student in nuclear science and engineering could be for naught if myths continue to plague the industry. The activist is committed to helping — one TikTok at a time.

Poornima Apte | Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

First-year MIT nuclear science and engineering (NSE) doctoral student Kaylee Cunningham is not the first person to notice that nuclear energy has a public relations problem. But her commitment to dispel myths about the alternative power source has earned her the moniker “Ms. Nuclear Energy” on TikTok and a devoted fan base on the social media platform.

Cunningham’s activism kicked into place shortly after a week-long trip to Iceland to study geothermal energy. During a discussion about how the country was going to achieve its net zero energy goals, a representative from the University of Reykjavik balked at Cunnigham’s suggestion of including a nuclear option in the alternative energy mix. “The response I got was that we’re a peace-loving nation, we don’t do that,” Cunningham remembers. “I was appalled by the reaction, I mean we’re talking energy not weapons here, right?” she asks. Incredulous, Cunningham made a TikTok that targeted misinformation. Overnight she garnered 10,000 followers and “Ms. Nuclear Energy” was off to the races. Ms. Nuclear Energy is now Cunningham’s TikTok handle.

A theater and science nerd

TikTok is a fitting platform for a theater nerd like Cunningham. Born in Melrose, Massachusetts, Cunningham’s childhood was punctuated by moves to places where her roofer father’s work took the family. She moved to North Carolina shortly after fifth grade and fell in love with theater. “I was doing theater classes, the spring musical, it was my entire world,” Cunningham remembers. When she moved again, this time to Florida halfway through her first year of high school, she found the spring musical had already been cast. But she could help behind the scenes. Through that work, Cunningham gained her first real exposure to hands-on tech. She was hooked.

Soon Cunningham was part of a team that represented her high school at the student Astronaut Challenge, an aerospace competition run by Florida State University. Statewide winners got to fly a space shuttle simulator at the Kennedy Space Center and participate in additional engineering challenges. Cunningham’s team was involved in creating a proposal to help NASA’s Asteroid Redirect Mission, designed to help the agency gather a large boulder from a near-earth asteroid. The task was Cunningham’s induction into an understanding of radiation and “anything nuclear.” Her high school engineering teacher, Nirmala Arunachalam, encouraged Cunningham’s interest in the subject.

The Astronaut Challenge might just have been the end of Cunningham’s path in nuclear engineering had it not been for her mother. In high school, Cunningham had also enrolled in computer science classes and her love of the subject earned her a scholarship at Norwich University in Vermont where she had pursued a camp in cybersecurity. Cunningham had already laid down the college deposit for Norwich.

But Cunningham’s mother persuaded her daughter to pay another visit to the University of Florida, where she had expressed interest in pursuing nuclear engineering. To her pleasant surprise, the department chair, Professor James Baciak, pulled out all the stops, bringing mother and daughter on a tour of the on-campus nuclear reactor and promising Cunningham a paid research position. Cunningham was sold and Backiak has been a mentor throughout her research career.

Exploring the Dynamics of the Synthetic Fuels Market: A Sustainable Energy Solution

The Synthetic Fuels Market is rapidly gaining traction as a viable alternative in the quest for sustainable energy sources. With the growing concerns over climate change and the need to reduce carbon emissions, synthetic fuels offer a promising solution. These fuels, also known as e-fuels or renewable fuels, are produced through advanced processes that utilize renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power.

One of the primary drivers behind the surge in demand for synthetic fuels is the global shift towards greener energy solutions. Governments, industries, and consumers alike are increasingly recognizing the importance of reducing dependency on fossil fuels and embracing renewable alternatives. Synthetic fuels present a compelling option as they not only offer a cleaner energy source but also provide a pathway to decarbonizing sectors such as transportation, industrial manufacturing, and power generation.

The versatility of synthetic fuels is another factor contributing to their growing popularity. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, synthetic fuels can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure without the need for significant modifications. This means that vehicles, aircraft, and machinery powered by gasoline or diesel can seamlessly transition to synthetic fuels without compromising performance or efficiency. Additionally, synthetic fuels can be tailored to meet specific energy needs, offering a customizable solution for various applications.

Moreover, advancements in technology have significantly improved the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of synthetic fuel production. Innovative processes such as Power-to-Liquid (PtL) and Gas-to-Liquid (GtL) have made it possible to produce synthetic fuels on a commercial scale, driving down production costs and increasing accessibility. As a result, synthetic fuels are becoming increasingly competitive with conventional fossil fuels, further fueling their adoption across different sectors.

The transportation industry stands to benefit significantly from the widespread adoption of synthetic fuels. With concerns over air quality and emissions regulations becoming more stringent, many vehicle manufacturers are exploring alternative fuel options to meet regulatory requirements and consumer demand for greener transportation solutions. Synthetic fuels offer an attractive alternative, providing a bridge between conventional combustion engines and future zero-emission technologies such as electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells.

In addition to transportation, synthetic fuels find applications in other sectors such as power generation and industrial manufacturing. The ability to produce clean, reliable energy from renewable sources makes synthetic fuels an appealing choice for companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and meet sustainability targets. Furthermore, synthetic fuels offer energy security benefits by reducing reliance on imported oil and mitigating the geopolitical risks associated with fossil fuel dependence.

Looking ahead, the Synthetic Fuels Market is poised for significant growth as the world transitions towards a low-carbon economy. With ongoing advancements in technology, coupled with increasing environmental awareness and regulatory pressures, the demand for synthetic fuels is expected to soar in the coming years. As governments and industries continue to invest in renewable energy solutions, synthetic fuels are well-positioned to play a crucial role in shaping the future of energy production and consumption.

THE WAR IN UKRAINE IS STILL GOING ON!!!!! READ BELOW

Hundred of tons of food supplies are still blocked in ukrainian ports.

Russian gas still brings billiards to russian economy.

Ukranian people are still dying from russian shelings and bombings.

____________________________________

If you are european - this all should still mater to you. The winter will come, the price on gas will rise or russia could block it all together.

If you are not from Europe - its still matters to you, especialy because Ukraine is one of the world largest food exporter. War in Ukraine means millions of people around the world will be affected by shortage of food supplies.

____________________________________

If you are european - talk about this on any level you can:

-Now is the best time to join eco activists and demand urgent development for using alternative energy sources. Fossil fuel from Russia brings only death to ukrainians, fossil fuel from Saudi Arabia will bring only death (read about war in Yemen). Any fossil fuel will bring death. It is time to change it.

-Talk to your representatives, to your governments - demand help for Ukraine. Clearly, we need weapons to win, any other case - Third World War in Europe.

-If you are not fan of military aid - solidarize with Ukrainians, with refuges, with victims, with different social groups in Ukraine. Talk about the war, talk about Ukraine, talk about russian imperialism. If your political views prevent you to stand with NATO and EU position on Ukraine - I understand, than criticize russian warmongering, educate yourself and others on russian imperialism and despotism of putin.

Last October, the New York Times described how forward=thinking the UAE is in diversifying its energy needs towards more green tech:

The Emirates plans to spend 600 billion dirhams, or $163 billion, over the next three decades to reduce the emissions from power plants that now burn enormous volumes of natural gas in part to cool buildings in the fierce Gulf heat. A lot of the money will go into solar farms, which can be set up across the sands of the Emirates. Another source of clean power will be a group of four nuclear reactors recently built by South Korean contractors in Abu Dhabi that are gradually coming online. Analysts say that spending so much money is bound to have a major impact in a small country of 9.9 million people that is already well ahead of neighboring petroleum exporters like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in diversifying their economies away from oil. The Emirates, for instance, is a regional hub for finance, logistics and tourism. And more funding is likely to be forthcoming to support the green agenda, like retrofitting buildings so that they don’t suck up so much power for air conditioning, or converting transportation to electric power or hydrogen. The Emirates is one of those places with the riches and the will to implement “loss-leading projects that are about being at the cutting edge,” said Raad Alkadiri, managing director for energy and climate at the Eurasia Group, a political risk firm.

But when the NYT writes about Israel and green tech, things suddenly get more problematic.

This is the great solar tower of Ashalim, one of the tallest structures in Israel and, until recently, the tallest solar power plant in the world. “It’s like a sun,” said Eli Baliti, a shopkeeper in the nearest village. “A second sun.” To backers, the tower is an impressive feat of engineering, testament to Israeli solar innovation. To critics, it is an expensive folly, dependent on technology that had become outmoded by the time it was operational. Sometimes it feels like a dystopian skyscraper, looming ominously over the cows and roosters of a dairy farm across the road. The tower’s height prompts comparisons with the Tower of Babel, its blinding light with the burning bush. Its base looks like the hangar of a spaceship, its turret the pinnacle of a fantasy fortress. Using energy from the sun, the tower generates enough electricity to power tens of thousands of homes. Completed in 2019, the plant showcases both the promise and the missteps of the Israeli solar industry, and it is a case study in the unpredictable challenges that await any country seeking to pivot from fossil fuels to renewable energy. For many villagers, who moved to Ashalim for a flawless desert view, it was a considerable blot on the landscape. “I’m pro clean energy,” noted Mr. Malka, who runs the pool. “But they chose to do it on the road by the village.”

In the UAE, solar power is wonderful. In Israel, it is problematic.

Anyone wonder why?

By Scott Scheffer

The U.S. government and all the corporations that profit from fossil fuels are cherry picking the actions that they are taking in response to the global climate emergency. Everything that they are pursuing is potentially profitable, and they are paying less attention to reforestation, wind power, solar power or other alternative energy sources. As they have done and are continuing to do during the COVID pandemic, they treat the climate crisis as if the United States is the only country enduring the consequences.
