Energy Technology > MY Synopsis !
Modular Reactors virtually NOW but current Old Nuclear > phasing out; still waste pollution a problem
Thorium-LFTR re-education of of Nuclear “brains: minor problems re corrosion a few billion and 5 to110years away
- the “smar(er)” technology <> the Way to Go vs the vested interests “consensus:
FUSION possibilities fast evolving within 10+++ years academically perhaps years but has / is horribly expensive > NEVER really practical cost-effective ? as the long term ULTIMATE significant proportion of many Countries GDP
One Fusion Plant > whole of Euro / China / USA
AUSTRALIA > NEVER !
but when the Coal, Oil, Gas eventually runs out in 200 plus years
Global Warming / Climate Change the “HOAX” of the “millenia”
an “infinite Bubble” of the similar 16 to 18th Century Tulip, South Seas “Bubbles” ALL NOw being surreptitiously implemented at the “speed of light” by the “unscrupulous”
via the “curse” of the Internet and the “accrued smart-arses” of the World
PROBLEM
Too capital intensive Ultra Dense centralised capacity
Power GRID costs the limiting factor for broad coverage
Potential for developing H2 Economy re transport of “energy”
H2 is actually much safer than other “fossil fuels” petrol , diesel, gas
far more efficient thn battery storage ( exotic mineral depletion and wast recycling cost problems ! )
NOT > NEVER efficient enough for “Renewables” backup of Base Energy > PEAK DEMAND etc
Ultimate > probably “small” Modular LFTR
paricularly for City > large factory implementation . relatively low cost mass production of plants
- low Thorium mineral resources WW > virtually unlimited
- feeds on previous pollution waste
- Ultra Safe ! waste Max 300 year storage vs 10>100sK years re 1/.2 lives of waste
- Use of surplus “heat” for domestic use in cold climate ( eg NewYork and higher Latitudes, Industry, desalination,
- high temp reaction conversion of CO2 to Syn-Fuels
- unique Apps >radio isotopes for Med Research > implementation re Health
- Minimal threat of being diverted into nuclear bombs
Controversial ?
- Radiation Effects-Health > at low doses evidence Now suggest it is actually beneficial!
Deaths have been relatively minimal over >~75yeats WW use
Accidents can / do occur > human error eg Chernobyl
Fukishima was NOT a meltdown but planning disastor / neglidence in being site on the Jap coast in an earthquake prone AND Tsamni prone area > flooding and a H2 explosion NOT meltdown or an Operation fault
- Curent Nuclear fleet is or now approaching “use-by date”
- Nuclear proven potentially much safer than mining gnerally > coal> gas etc
