If something is not working , let's double down !
If the lockdowns are not working it's because we didn't do enough let's double down
If wind and Solar are a disappointment let's do more
The world is in this path but the Chinese are not, they will have cheap energy & clean. Let's see if having cheap energy is a game changer.
From Leigh Goehring
Any serious proposal to reduce the carbon intensity of energy needs to have several characteristics. It must be:
- Very energy efficient as measured by EROEI
- Able to supply baseload power and avoid intermittency
- Scalable to meet ongoing global energy demand growth
- Low-carbon or carbon-free.
The only source that meets these criteria is nuclear fission.
A modern reactor generates electricity with an EROEI of nearly 100 compared with 30 for gas and 1–4 for renewable. As a result, only 1% of the generate electricity is consumed internally compared with 3% for gas and 25–60% for renewable energy.
