Episode 39: Part 1 Underground Fusion, Lunar Data Centers, LA Fires, Carbon Protein

In this episode of Inspired Earth, we dive into a whirlwind of groundbreaking developments and pressing issues shaping our world. From the innovative approach of burying nuclear reactors one mile underground to power data centers, leveraging natural geological properties to enhance safety and reduce costs, to the controversial use of prison labor in combating climate disasters, we explore the intersection of technology, ethics, and sustainability. The host reflects on the podcast's journey, celebrating milestones like surpassing 100 subscribers, while addressing challenges such as demonetization and the broader implications of censorship. We also tackle the escalating climate crisis, from devastating wildfires to sinking coastal skyscrapers, and examine the global race for AI supremacy, highlighting China's recent advancements that have left the U.S. scrambling to catch up. Amidst these discussions, the episode underscores the urgent need for cooperation and innovation to address the planet's most pressing challenges, from clean energy to social justice. Tune in for a thought-provoking and action-packed episode that leaves no stone unturned.


"Plant protein production produces carbon. A Michigan State University team has won a $1.8 million grant from the US Department of Energy to figure out how to minimize and offset carbon waste from plant protein production as part of a “sustainable plant protein circular economy."
