Can Our Infrastructure Handle An All-Electric World?
Can the grid handle a 100% electric world? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore the carbon impacts of electric vehicles and achieving zero emissions with chemical engineer for Union of Concerned Scientists, David Reichmuth. Thanks to our partners at Ford for sponsoring this episode. Learn more about the all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E® SUV at https://www.ford.com/suvs/mach-e/ What fraction of the overall carbon footprint comes from transportation? We break down air pollutants, particulate matter, and how the electric grid isn’t fully green yet. How do we achieve true zero emissions? David tells us about the Union of Concerned Scientists and their work trying to bring the voice of science to policy making. Is it more emissions to create an electric vehicle versus a regular car? We discuss the emissions of manufacturing and breakdown the idea of a strategic commodity. Can we stop relying on gasoline in the same way we stopped relying on horses? Learn about changes in our energy sources in the last century. Find out how long EV’s can go on one charge and the logistics of setting up infrastructure for electric vehicles. Why is no one “taking a drive” for pleasure anymore? We ask whether or not the grid could handle if everyone had electric cars. Would there be brownouts and blackouts from everyone charging their car all night? Are there ways we can make the entire electric grid smarter?

Tesla Cybertruck v F-150 Raptor R: DRAG RACE
Pick-up truck fans let’s goooooo!! The Cybertruck is back once again, and it’s going head-to-head against one of the most powerful pick-ups money can buy - the Ford F-150 Raptor R! So let’s check out how these two almighty machines compare. Starting with the Tesla, we’ve got our hands on the ‘Cyberbeast’ tri-motor edition, which can produce 845hp and 930Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and if you’re looking to pick one up it’ll cost you around $96,000. It’s also pretty damn heavy, tipping the scales at 3,084kg!! Then alongside it we have the F-150. This Raptor R edition comes with a huge 5.2-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet that can put down 700hp and 870Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic gearbox, and this truck also comes in lighter than the Cybertruck, weighing in at 2,703kg. However, while it may be lighter, it comes with a heftier price tag, costing around $109,000! So will it be yet another win for the Cybertruck? Or could the all-American F-150 snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

How New Road Barriers Have Saved Thousands of Lives
Discover the transformative impact of modern road barriers on road safety, leading to the preservation of thousands of lives. In the past, suboptimal road barrier designs were known to exacerbate accidents, often resulting in fatalities. However, contemporary developments have revolutionized these safety measures. Today's road barriers have undergone significant upgrades, enabling them to absorb and redistribute impact energy more effectively. Extensive research, drawing from thousands of real-world crash scenarios, has culminated in the creation of barriers that not only shield those directly involved in accidents but also pedestrians and property, fostering a sense of security. This innovative generation of road barriers is characterized by their capacity to mitigate harm by altering the dynamics of impact. They are engineered to soften collisions and redirect energy, effectively reducing the severity of accidents. Moreover, the introduction of materials with greater shock-absorbing capabilities has introduced an extra layer of protection, ensuring that the energy from collisions is dissipated before reaching the occupants of the vehicles. Innovations extend beyond traditional guardrails, encompassing technologies like roller-equipped barriers that actively guide vehicles to a controlled stop, preventing more serious incidents. Additionally, advancements like the MASH Sequential Kinking Terminal (MSKT) enhance barrier effectiveness by strategically distributing impact energy. The result of these developments is remarkable: thousands of lives saved annually. Through the evolution of road barriers, the modern transportation landscape has become markedly safer, exemplifying the critical role that thoughtful engineering plays in safeguarding lives on the road.
