A humble prediction. Seeds are being sown around the world for a comeback of nuclear energy. In the next decade, we can see government’s around the world approving more nuclear reactors as they realize they aren’t going anywhere near net carbon zero with wind and solar. 🧵

 Take Australia for example. It is home to 1/3rd of the world’s uranium - the chemical element needed to produce nuclear energy in reactors but doesn’t have a single nuclear reactor to generate electricity.

Which is fine as long as you have other sources of energy that are cheap, plentiful and reliable. But South Australia’s energy prices are arguably the highest in the world.

The European Commission released a very important report this April. In its assessment, it concluded that nuclear energy had near to zero greenhouse gas emissions in energy generation phase and can be a contributor to climate mitigation objectives.

What about radioactive waste management? France which produces 75% of its energy requirements from nuclear is a great example.
‘By way of comparison, annual per capita radioactive waste generated in France is now 1 kg (of which 11 grams high-level waste), compared with 2,500 kg of industrial waste (of which 100 kg of toxic waste).’

https://t.co/DgCQxEkehf
Germany took a polar opposite view of France post Fukushima Daiichi in 2011 by reducing nuclear to just 11% of its total electricity now. Germany spent close to $600 bn in renewables over the last 10 years. Renewables now account for 35% of total electricity production in Ger
This should have reduced carbon emissions right? Unfortunately sun doesn’t shine in the night and wind doesn’t blow always. So they have to rely more on fossil fuels than France. Germany’s carbon emission is 10x France and its electricity prices are 2x France. No kidding! 😷
To not be dependent on Russia’s natural gas, Germany is destroying Hambach forest for coal (https://t.co/G7A0E2aVFV) and setting up wind turbines in Reinhardswald forest. Wind turbines across the world are known for killing eagles, hawks, bats and other migratory birds.

New York last year closed it’s best and one and only nuclear power plant called Indian Point largely due to political reasons. This year, many New Yorkers suffered black outs last week due to grid strain following the heat wave. https://t.co/obLlF8dFGu
What about land requirements? New York’s Indian Point gives a perspective on land requirement. Indian Point covers 239 acres. One can fit 3 Indian Point’s inside New York City’s Central Park.
To produce the same amount of power using wind, you need a land area equivalent to 400 Central Park filled with wind turbines. (This long read is a must).

What about the harmful effects of exposure to radiation? Prof. Gerald Thomas from Imperial College of London busts many myths and half truths. She’s covered Fukushima and Chernobyl extensively

https://t.co/15Ywwdmnk4 (Her presentation)

https://t.co/4VEJfIqLts (her credentials)
This 20 minute super interesting documentary covers Australian energy expert Dr Ben Heard who’s fighting for nuclear in Australia and Greenpeace Oz’s view on Fukushima. (P.S: Not a single death in Fukushima due to radiation exposure)

Life expectancy in France with 75% nuclear contribution to total energy.
A 3 minute video by Prof Thomas explaining how we are constantly exposed to radiation (nuclear or not)

https://t.co/tvYqVQ23Kb
What about India? Though we have 22+ reactors, nuclear is a distant fifth after coal, gas, hydro and wind. We generate about 8000 MW from nuclear which is just 3% of total.
Jairam Ramesh (yes no typo there) believes nuclear should at least be 10% of total energy for meaningful reduction in carbon emissions.

https://t.co/TqHa6CpooV
As per https://t.co/6APTU5gDgA 5 more sites have been given in principle approval for more reactors.

Maharashtra - 6*1650 - France
AP - 6*1208 - USA
Gujarat - 6*1000 - USA
West Bengal - 6*1000 - Russia
MP - 4*700 - Indigenous
World has flirted enough with solar and wind for more than two decades now. We have enough photo ops to prove ‘greenness’ along with enough data to prove that it’s best complementary and can never be core.
India needs to prioritize nuclear over and above (snake oil) solar, wind and ushers in energy independence by providing safe, cheap, reliable and plentiful electricity with low emissions being the cherry on top. END.

Why Reading and observing different trends matter.

Time for a thread with a live example that is playing out in front of us! 🎵🎵

“What is elementary, worldly wisdom? Well, the first rule is that you can’t really know anything if you just remember isolated facts and try and bang ‘em back. If the facts don’t hang together on a latticework of theory, you don’t have them in a usable form.”- Charlie Munger

Charlie Munger who is the partner of Warren Buffett, has over the years explained the importance of creating a latticework of mental models. That is basically combining theory with live practical examples


One of the most interesting mental models he talked about in his books was that of Autocatalysis (lets understand this and how we can apply it to a live example):

"Disney is an amazing example of autocatalysis. They had all those movies in the can.

They owned the copyright. And just as Coke could prosper while refrigeration came, When the video cassette was invented, Disney didn’t have to invent anything or do anything except take the thing out of the can and stick it on the cassette.

🧵👇

First, recognize that there are no new ideas.

Innovation is just rearranging existing concepts in a revolutionary way.

To get better at that, learn to combine your unique interests.

I wrote about this

offers a five step process for generating inspiration:

1. Gather raw material.

2. Work over them in your mind.

3. Let your subconscious mind process them.

4. Have a “Eureka" moment.

5. Shape and develop your idea — make it

suggests increasing your creativity by being prolific

Generate as many ideas as you can, as often as you can

Have a daily routine that primes your mind for

looks for a specific combination of traits in order to determine if an idea is worth pursuing

The criteria are:
- interesting
- doesn't exist in that exact form
- something she can uniquely contribute

1/ A orders chips. Supplier says "supply is getting tight." A triples order to store them in a warehouse. Supplier tells other customers supply is even tighter. They order extra chips. Quickly there are more chips in warehouses than toilet paper in garages during the pandemic.

2/ Intel's Gelsinger: "I don’t expect the chip industry is back to a healthy supply-demand situation until ’23. For a variety of industries, I think it’s still getting worse before it gets better.”

Are chips in warehouses the prime cause of the shortage? No. Demand is higher.

3/ "Software eating the world" means rising demand for chips.

I'm skeptical that this increase in chip demand is "transitory."

Fabs and backhoes don't increase with Moore's law. https://t.co/m7ZreQTzow


4/ If you invert Nathan's 1st Law:

Software can't expand faster than the chips and memory that enables its magic.

Broadcom's CEO believes chip production is a mature industry that will return to lower growth. I disagree in the medium term at least.

VEDIC COSMOLOGY, also known as Hindu Cosmology, and cosmography are both interesting and inspiring. Today’s “modern” Vedic texts originated around 3,000 B.C.E. This is the oldest scientific and the oldest religious doctrine known to the human race.


Our current astronomy of the solar system and universe has its roots in Vedic knowledge. It only shows that man had advanced knowledge of astronomy way before our current civilization came into existence.
We are here to talk about the Vedic version of the planetary system,

starting at the top from the eternal planets to the temporary planetary system within innumerable universes in the material world.

Talking about “cosmic manifestation,” we need to incorporate both spiritual and material existence.


The spiritual realm of the planets is everlasting, and this will forever be beyond what the material universe can encapsulate. The spiritual realm belongs to the “super dimensional” or “anti-material” dimension. It means that it is beyond what we can perceive,


beyond time as a linear dimension, and the space of our vision and perception.

There are innumerable planets, all indestructible and forever lasting. That is what the Vedas say about the spiritual planets. Our concentration here is more towards the material side of things.

Sri Mridanga Saileswari Temple Muzhakkunnu, Kannur KERALA

The temple is established by Parasurama and it is one among 108 Durga temples.
Devi will answer all the prayers of her devotees who pray to her with utmost devotion lighting the ghee deepam.


It is the family diety of Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja.
Devi is present in three forms Kali, Saraswati and Lakshmi.

Legend...👇
Once a Mridungam ( musical instrument) shaped rock fell from heaven here.
@SriramKannan77


Devi originated in the form of Mridangam and Parasurama captivated the essence of Devi into a Vigraham. Vigraham is made of Panchaloham.
Kathakali, an art form of Kerala originated here.


Temple Vigraham was stolen 3-4 times, but because of power of Devi all the attempts were failure. Police records says that Whenever the thieves try to steal, they lose their senses, and they will be in a confused state. So they will abandon the idol.

LESSER KNOWN DETAILS ABOUT THE BATTLE OF PRATAPGAD - THIS YOU ALL SHOULD READ

In the 1659 Adilshah sent Afzalkhan with the army of 75000 soldiers to destroy Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj with his empire. He was the main soldier, warrior and minister in Adilshahi Sultanate.


He was the Subhedar of Wai province.

He was very powerful physically. His height was 7.3 ft. due to same he was very popular as a strong man from Adilshahi Sultanate.

Whole India was not daring to fight with Adilshahi due to Afzal Khan.

Badi Begum Sahiba sent him to kill Chhatrapati Shivaji on any cost.

Voluntary he decided to destroy Chhatrapati Shivaji’s empire with him. He started his operation against Chhatrapati Shivaji from "wai". He destroyed many temples like as Tulja Bhavani Temple.

He destroyed so many villages, killed villagers to torture Chhatrapati Shivaji.

DETAILED VIEW- Running commentary

1. Chhatrapati Shivaji chose Pantaji as a lawyer to communicate with Afzal Khan. Pantaji was very sharp minded, who did his job very nicely.

2. He presented Chhatrapati Shivaji is fearing Afzal Khan and he wanted to invite him in his kingdom near Pratapgad.
