New technological breakthroughs from DOE’s PNNL and ORNL national laboratories have made removing uranium from seawater within economic reach. And nuclear fuel made with uranium extracted from seawater makes nuclear power as renewable as solar, hydro and wind. Just the 4 billion tons of uranium presently in seawater would fuel a thousand 1,000-MW nuclear power plants for a 100,000 years. But uranium extracted from seawater is replenished continuously because U concentrations are controlled by steady-state chemical reactions between waters and rocks on the Earth, both in the ocean and on land. It’s impossible for humans to extract enough U to lower the overall seawater concentrations of U over the next 5 billion years, even if nuclear provided 100% of our energy. Of course, humans won’t last anywhere near that long!

Podcasts became our alternative way of consuming content. There are times that I completely only listen to podcasts once I find a new interesting one. Just like blogs who now give a hands on, personal views on different topics vs. news websites which tend to be for the wider audience, this is how podcasts work as well vs. Radio shows. Podcasts can get very niche in a topic and keep the audience interested.  Here is a rundown of podcasts I know speaking about China (mainly business oriented but not only).

Last year, CIO, CSO and PricewaterhouseCoopers released a new Global State of Information Security survey, which polled more than 10,000 executives from 127 countries about IT security. The results were a mixed bag, with security incidents up 38% over 2014 but corresponding budgets rising only 24%.
