Air Ships, Drones, environmental mining

This is really interesting. So many developments incorporating very old and new technologies to create low carbon mining.

They had me at nuclear micro reactor!
Cool stuff, and nuclear is completely GHG/CO2 emission free, statistically the safest form of energy generation, and takes up the least amount of real estate!
I hope it gets approved.

I wonder what the "airships" look like.

And man, that's a lot of kimberlite pipes!

 

[Betty Baguettes]

Yes, interesting. I see pros and cons.

My biggest question is, who is going to secure the nuclear waste once De Beers moves on? (And they will eventually move on).

I am an investor along with some of the original Argyle geologists in a field with 280.

It sounds good. But the part about "post closure monitoring" still concerns me. Mainly because I, like many scientists, have serious doubts about the future stability of our societies, and even the survival of humans. Many are saying we have a scant few decades left, if that, even if the current international crises pass.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but I'd like to see the remaining species have a chance to live after we are gone.

I would think avoiding complacency is the key to post closure monitoring success...for any nuclear generating country in the world. Lots of potential energy left in spent fuel!

This seems like a fair and balanced article about Canada's current plans:

Canada plans to store spent nuclear fuel deep, deep underground in the Great Lakes basin. That is, if an industry group can find an Ontario community willing to play host

Plenty of species will remain after we are gone. And they will thrive. They are probably cheering for our demise.
