I have an open-ended question for this group, which I have great
admiration for. I'm a biologist and am writing a book on, especially,
the population problem. One of the chapters is on energy, mainly from
the viewpoint of future energy sources. The only one I am at all even
partly able to judge fairly is biomass, and to some extent solar, wind
and similar 'standard' ones. I am helpless about nuclear, and like
Daniel Yergin in "Quest" dont say much about it. What do y'all see as
real possibilities in 50 years? regards, ken deboer
Classic nuclear energy is not cost efficient in many ways and thus more
than dead. It's uphold for political (= private corruption) needs as
seen e.g. in UK. The main reason is that you invest (for construction
maintenance - fuel production - decommissioning) at least 30% of the
total energy produced by the nuke what makes a new nuke a true
contribution earliest after about 6 years now. Of course there is no
real solution yet to handle the waste. (Best in Sweden). Nuclear energy
was introduced by the military complex to get "free Plutonium" for bombs...
Hot fusion is the biggest fraud as all (e.g. energy of sun) what the
physicists do claim is a blatant lie. Already 40 years ago people knew
that hot D+T fusion is impossible due to the high rate of very hot
neutrons produced what will affect all material of the reactor. ITER is
just a sun & fun project for obedient physicists.
There is a good chance that finally only cold fusion will survive as we
now understand how it works. But we still have great difficulties to
produce a stable long time working reaction. Cold fusion produces no
nuclear waste. Of course cold fusion still is suppressed ( by the sun
and fun physicists + military/oil complex ) and the projects do run
with minimal money and resources. And many are run under the surface by
the various military complexes world wide.
We only can hope that Fukushima was the last accident. But this is just
a wish ...
