What I'd like to know is where do we get the uranium needed, especially in light of Hillary selling our uranium assets to Russia via Uranium One.
I'm all for national energy independence. If nuclear can be part of that, great. If not, I'd rather it be all hydro, coal, and natural gas (whatever we can do on our own so no other nation can hold us by the gonads).
No, I would absolutely love it to continue this debate, and - the more, the merrier or, the more interesting viewpoints we shall have 🙂
It’s the old activism disease: create enough misery and solutions to energy conservation, engineering innovation, and technical progress will magically appear. Too bad the misery part is all they’ve achieved.
Years ago I found a website where Germany posts (or used to) a graph showing electrical power generation by source (wind, gas, hydro, etc.) vs. time. One could expand the time scale down to the hour. This combined with consumption data showed that Germany frequently did not have standby capacity (almost all gas powered) to make up during periods when wind and solar were low. So, they import from France.
