Reasons to be cheerful

Reasons to be cheerful

I think we can feel optimistic about 2017 and beyond. Renewable sources of energy are gaining momentum and becoming cheaper all the time. That is despite falling subsidies and political decisions to favour other sources of energy.

    The trend is with us, we are one with the trend at 2MW/hr. And then there is wind, hydro, geo, tidal, bio, etc.

    If only we could work out how to build Nuclear power cheaply, with zero failures. Because we need to do all of the low carbon things. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Geo, Tidal, Waste, Nuclear, Continent-wide smart grids, Supply-demand-curtailment management. Because TOO MUCH electricity changes the game. Which also means a change in the commercial and regulatory environments. And we need to hope there’s enough cheap fossil fuel left to get us to the point where we don’t need it any more.

    Julian Bond I spent 20 years working in submerged nuclear power plants. They are not cheap to build or operate, even when they are on dry land. They can be designed to be very safe, but not 100% safe and not to cope with some of the stuff Mother Nature occasionally throws at them, like earthquakes and tsunamis. Location, location, location, but for most people, the mantra it still “Not in my back yard.”
