They are crises advancing technology?

[TheLag]

Hello everyone.

I am a high school student, and I came to register on this forum because my subject TPE (group presentation on a particular subject) corresponds to the theme of forum.

The problem, the theme of the topic, my group is: What global crises 20e century have they allowed technological advances? We are three ; one takes care of a military crisis, the Second World War; another of a political crisis, the Cold War; and myself, an economic crisis, the oil crisis of 1973.

I have to talk about alternative (wholesale) following the oil shock:

- Development of renewable energy
- Development of nuclear power

However it seems to me that there were other alternatives to meet this increase in oil prices ...
AND do renewable energy and nuclear power really began to develop after the oil shock?


Good night.

Welcome!

PS. note that it is first of all understood that we are not here to do your work for you. One can answer - in your interest - to try to make you understand certain point of this problematic, but it will be I think only partial points of view which will not necessarily be the point of view from the university angle. But rather the feelings of the members of the forum with regard to their course. Maybe there are better sources of information than forum, here you can only "to take the temperature" on the subject...

Good evening, yes to nuclear power. There was a report instantly on 5. The government has decided to launch the reactor dozens of construction at the time. The elec heating also encouraged. The look that is instructive.

Yes, I lived in old it !!
In 1973, it was stated that there would be more oil in the year 2000, any depleted reserves?
So on that assertion, true lies, France outwit's part in the whole nuclear power in most nuclear countries on the planet !!

Pray that we do not have a Tcherno-Fukushima France, inevitable sooner or later because we French, even smarter than the Japanese or Russians we can not be infallible in perpetuity, as required by the Nuclear !!

Nuclear power can empty in one night completely entire region for centuries, unable to go back ever !!

With a little more bad luck while Tokyo could have become radioactive and 40 million people evacuated !!

The French nuclear power is not a great technological progress because based on US licensing nuclear power plants before the oil shock After France had found that his choice of French power stations were very bad and dangerous !!
They even flirt with disaster twice with early heart melted and hidden plutonium releases to the public !!

More nuclear pushed to the absurdity of French electric heating, anti-progress to remove This is expensive for the poorest, legally ripped off !!
See tonight A5 Heating electric trap, visible one-week pluzz.fr !!

Nuclear is the oldest fossil fuels on the planet : Almost 5 billion years, radioactive remains of the supernova that created us !!

Oil in constant Francs has not increased substantially over 60 years !!
There has been tremendous progress in the oil wells on the seabed, helped by the spikes in oil prices, much more than in nuclear power, it almost without progress (EPR a chasm in € for an impossible security)! !
The engines have been improved but there is still much to do, very possible, given the vastness of technological opportunities not used !!


The fossil fuels are underground in huge amount, more or less easy to recover, but able to burn all the oxygen we breathe in CO2 and stifle us !!
Yes it's never saidBut for obvious 600 life from millions of years emerges each molecule O2 storing underground carbon atom C fuel potential (Coal, CH4 methane, oil) renewing this O2 breathed all about 200mille years !!
So life has stored underground 600 / 0,2 3000 times = fossil fuels !!!!
It is recycled by burning CO2 partially, but there is at least an amount capable of suppressing all breathed O2 !!
So we must stop fast growth CO2 well before exhausting fossil fuels, inexhaustible !!

The price of oil is determined by strategic considerations, even war, even 1973 and now (DAECH sells off its oil !!), a technical reality.


Technological progress has taken advantage of crises of the Cold War, like going to the moon, which began microelectronics and micro-computers, phones, and many other very progressive huge progress.


We could do without fossil fuels for heating, and energy, as retain solar heat in the summer to warm winter with without fuel or pollution, free for ever !!

Same for solar energy in abundance in summer could be stored in concentrated solar geothermal usable day and night 365 days a year, unlike the very expensive electricity in photovoltaic store !!

Preferred EPR dearly, security possible to ensure due to its complexity, simple solutions.

Ever seen bad false solutions we deny in the future !!
Even worse now with the increasing technological complexity !!

the crisis causes progress? it seems absurd to me!

the scientist would turn the thumb in times of peace and would work when there is a war?

the inventor not always work, but in peacetime it does not help much, and when the situation is serious we are happy to manufacture in large he invented

for example the last gerre in England, the radar to detect German aircraft: the war would not have caused this invention if it were not for a prior industry

another example, the decoding of the German secret message, the success of turing and the beginning of the computer ... the war would also not enough, there was also the foresight of some man who organized means research before the war ... it seems to me that Churchill did much in bringing together the most diverse competence in preparation for a war he saw coming

when a crisis happens, if nothing was done before, we are in the m ... when you shit in his pants that no longer serves nothing clenched buttocks

Quite accurate, advance work precursors many are essential during a crisis to manage.

US Patents for NPPs well before the 1973 crisis were essential to start our nuclear plants without the absurdities of graphite gas !!

So on that assertion, true lies !!

Dédé Hi!
Small focus.
Based on the work of Marion King Hubert , Forecasts on peak oil were established in the 70 years, said the forecast predicted World pic reached within 2000 years with varying 5 years for error.
Journalists were quick to declare that there would be more oil in the year 2000 ... is was an unfortunate shortcut.
In fact peak oil was actually reached by the IAEA in the course of the year 2006 (source some places a little before or a little after that does not change much).
The forecast was so good.

Now to answer the question:How do the global crises of 20e century have they allowed technological advances?


Constraints are sources inventivités.
As a society no longer even has to dissipate energy to ensure development is due to a lower supply it launches in the repurposing(Remodeling).


In the years 70 face the relative scarcity of fossil energy (ie a scarcity caused by geopolitical events) countries have decided to vary their sources of supplies.
In France the choice turned to nuclear, it was essential to maintain growth at all costs, so we propped fossil fuels with nuclear power.

Nowadays facing the inevitability of scarcity of fossil fuels, governments are implementing a policy based on the development of renewable energy, the goal is the same maintain growth at all costs ...

AND do renewable energy and nuclear power really began to develop after the oil shock?

No.
The tidal power plant was built in the Rance 1966(Then the world's only).
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usine_mar%C3%A9motrice_de_la_Rance

The oven of odeillo Built in 1970:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_solaire_d'Odeillo
In 60 years, France was among the nation heads into the field of bioclimatic habitat ... unfortunately drowned due to a reduced cost for electricity (direct costs) of the electro-nuclear industry.

Also note that from the circles of 60 years, a great inventor (Edgar Henry Nazare) Developed the concept of a vortex towers

Hello!

Bulk: the tidal power of the rancid 1966 is ...
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usine_mar%C3%A9motrice_de_la_Rance
The oven Odeillo 1962 is ...



The draft towers vortex (patent Nazare) is 1964:
http://www.tour-solaire.fr/vortex-nazare.php
Still not built ...

In the years 60 France was one of the world leader of bioclimatic habitat ... now we are lagging behind.

Nothing new under the sun except industrial lobbies who have done everything to maintain an untenable mode of "development" focused on the search for exponential economic growth, of which nuclear power is one of the most popular offspring ...

[chatelot16]

The oven Odeillo 1962 is ...

odeillo and it is only a copy and bigger ... the montlouis furnace by felix waterspout is 1949
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_sola ... Mont-Louis

good idea is old ... it is the economic condition of use that are the problem

generally renewable energy explotation of demand over travial that consume oil in France ... the work is heavily taxed through payroll taxes ... there is no social charges on oil, even if c is burning of oil that pollutes and sickens

this is blatant with the discussion of the 21 cop ... this is not the politico who can invent machines that will save the energy, but it's them that can reduce the burden on labor by replacing it by taxes on energy to make it profitable work that economise the energy

there is no need to invent new technical means: there are already there! there has to change the economic rules we used them!

this is the money that order! it is the economic rules that determine what is profitable ... if it becomes more economical to save the energy that pollute foolishly industry will

[dedeleco]

Strongly agree, court choices to profitability term or immediate (with electric radiators € 10), flow long-term choice of solutions with heavy investment, but free to use for perpetual, indestructible, pollution without CO2 that melts the ice without radioactive waste, and are therefore perpetual, to long-term performance infinity !!
The plant at La Rance, unique in the world is a typical example, use the century and renovation, much more !!
The storable solar thermal Geothermal is similar, remove all oil consumption and therefore neglected and blocked !!
The solar tower vortex costs nothing next to a still dangerous EPR money pit !!!
