Today's GrokIt:

So what are we going to do when the power runs out? Too bad we closed down all of the nuclear reactors. Maybe the use of thorium in LFTRs will help.

As we grow as a society and our technology increases, the energy needed to power it will increase as well. Currently most of our electricity is generated through the burning of fossil fuels which is hastening the degradation of our climate and ultimately the decay of our planet. Turning to renewables seems a good solution but these intermittent energy sources are not always available or are unable to generate the amount of power we will need. At the same time, we are closing the aging nuclear power plants, turning off an incredible energy source. Should we consider the use of new nuclear-based technolgies which burn clean, spewing out no noxious gases or chemicals to further pollute our environment? I believe we should! What do you think?

the possibility of us losing energy is terrible for the world, considering society runs on all of this electricity but I believe implementing new forms of energy sources is good for the environment

if we loose energy in the world. we will find a new way to make electricity

use solar panels and find other sources that we could use
