Paul Vallejo: Green Dreams, Grid Realities

SUMMARY:
------------------------------
Paul Vallejo, an aerospace engineer with nuclear engineering background and NASA experience, dismantles the prevailing narratives about nuclear energy while exposing what he calls "narrative science" – the practice of starting with predetermined conclusions rather than objective data collection. Drawing on his technical expertise in nuclear rocket feasibility studies, Vallejo systematically addresses the three main objections to nuclear power: safety, cost, and construction time. He argues that modern nuclear reactors with passive safety systems are fundamentally different from 1960s-designed plants like Fukushima and Chernobyl, explaining how passive safety relies on physics rather than human intervention – similar to how a dam spillway prevents catastrophic failure without requiring any action. Vallejo emphasizes nuclear energy's superior reliability compared to weather-dependent renewables, using Spain's 2015 grid failure as an example of renewable energy's inherent instability. He warns about potential catastrophic risks like coronal mass ejections that could destroy Australia's electrical grid, arguing that solar and wind dependence increases vulnerability to such events. The presentation reveals Australia's energy resource paradox: possessing world-leading uranium and thorium reserves while importing renewable technology components from China. Vallejo concludes by noting that major tech companies are building nuclear reactors for data centers with 5-6 year timelines and power costs of 10-15 cents per kilowatt hour, contrasting sharply with Australia's 40+ cent residential rates.

RUMBLE DESCRIPTION:
-----------------------------------
NASA engineer Paul Vallejo destroys the lies about nuclear energy in this explosive presentation that reveals why Big Tech is racing to build reactors while Australia clings to expensive renewables. With three science degrees including nuclear engineering, Vallejo exposes "narrative science" – how climate activists manipulate research by starting with conclusions rather than collecting objective data. He breaks down why modern nuclear reactors with passive safety systems are nothing like the 1960s plants that had problems, explaining the physics in terms anyone can understand. From Spain's renewable energy grid collapse to the looming threat of solar flares that could destroy Australia's power infrastructure, this talk reveals the deadly risks of weather-dependent energy. Vallejo shows how Google, Meta, Microsoft and other tech giants are building nuclear plants with 5-year timelines and 10-15 cent power costs – while Australians pay 40+ cents per kilowatt hour for unreliable green energy. The irony is staggering: Australia has the world's largest uranium reserves but imports solar panels and wind turbines from China. This presentation demolishes every anti-nuclear talking point with hard engineering facts and real-world examples. Essential viewing for anyone tired of being lectured about "dangerous" nuclear by politicians who've never opened a physics textbook.
