Ik maak mij zorgen om klimaatverandering, met name de moeilijk omkeerbare wereldwijde nadelige effecten op langere termijn, maar in dit stuk van @lucasbergkamp over de #klimaatzaak van @milieudefensie tegen @Shell zie ik veel goede argumenten. Aanrader:
wyniasweek.nl/in-de-klimaatz…
Ten overvloede: klimaatverandering acht ik gevaarlijk, maar goed oplosbaar (zonder risico voor mens milieu) mits we daarvoor ruim gebruik maken van krachtige technologie, met name kernenergie en moderne gewasveredeling (genetische manipulatie) voor de landbouw.
Deze krachtige technologieen worden nog altijd afgezworen door gevestigde zelfbenoemde milieulobbies zoals Milieudefensie, en hun toepassing wordt sinds jaar en dag ernstige beknot - zo niet compleet verboden - in huidige wet- en regelgeving.
Die wet- en regelgeving moet snel en grondig op de schop, hoe hardnekkig en slinks de machtige gevestigde "milieu"lobby dat ook tegen weet te houden.

We moeten vóórwaarts als mensheid, met ons volle verstand én met ál het gereedschap dat homo sapiens heeft ontwikkeld.

50 nuclear plants (1,5 GW each) would be enough to power the desalination needed to switch entirely from fossil water to distilled sea water.

70 years is more than enough time to build them. 👍
Assumptions:

26 billion m3 of desalinated water needed annually

60 kWh heat and 1,5 kWh of electricity needed per m3

Total demand is 195 GW of heat and 5 GW of electricity

50 1,5 GW reactors would be enough to supply 200 GW of heat and 75 GW of electricity.
The 70 GW of excess electricity could be used to replace coal or gas plants, or to power the production of hydrogen.

Major Dutch weekly @ewmagazinenl published a very important interview with @BernardAccoyer yesterday, highlighting the #French antinuclear establishment.

Yes, France is ruled by the antinuclear lobby!

I decided to post a translation of the article, here:
docs.google.com/document/d/1eP…
Half of the French nuclear power stations are offline. That is unprecedented. According to Bernard Accoyer (77), former president of the French House of Representatives, this is mainly due to green ideologues. Image
He formulates calmly and in a professorial manner, but does not shy from strong statements. Because the matter is extremely serious, believes Bernard Accoyer, who was chairman of the Assemblee Nationale, the French House of Representatives, between 2007 and 2021.

Good list.

IMO, today's market don't need to be improved, if only because they can't be: they're already optimal!

But being optimal is far from good enough, and the challenge is to make lawmakers aware of this and of their role in protecting society from market failures.
Today's electricity markets are optimal in the sense of ensuring that electricity generators with the lowest running costs are used first, and those with the highest running cost are only used if there are no cheaper generators available.
This means that at any given time, the mix of generators that supply the power we buy is the cheapest possible, and the price that we pay is no more than than the running costs of the most expensive to run generator in that mix.

1⃣Deze animatie van een kerncentrale is om meerdere redenen geweldig.

- de kwaliteit en details
- de uitleg van de technologie en het nut van kernenergie
- het betreffende ontwerp: de grootste snelle kweekreactor ter wereld

Draadje over de kweekreactor:
2⃣BN-800 is een kweekreactor.
Dat betekent dat de reactor in staat is om alle energie besloten in uranium te benutten en niet maar ongeveer 1% daarvan zoals 'normale' kernreactoren.
Hierdoor is er veel minder uranium nodig en blijft er veel minder afval en 'verarmd uranium' over.
3⃣Deze efficiëntieverbetering is zó groot - van 1% naar 100% - dat het argument dat uranium "eindig" zou zijn niet meer relevant is.
Immers: omdat kweekreactoren honderd keer minder uranium nodig hebben mag de prijs van uranium honderd keer zo hoog zijn.

Benieuwd wat er allemaal gemeld gaat worden vandaag!

Vooral over het besluit van de Tweede Kamer dit jaar om voortaan samen op te trekken met landen als Frankrijk om #kernenergie te benutten.
#DagvhKlimaatakkoord Image
Keurige aftrap van de staatssecretaris maar (nog) geen woord over kernenergie.

Wel veel over wind/zon, en waterstof.

De speechschrijvers van @MinisterieEZK zitten nog in de oude groef, lijkt het! 😉 Image
Nu Diederik Samsom, die zegt dat het over #herverdeling gaat: landen als Polen zullen meer moeten doen aan CO2 reductie, en landen als Nederland zullen financieel meer moeten bijdragen.

Dat Polen met #kernenergie goedkoper zou kunnen verduurzamen verzwijgt Samsom, uiteraard. 🙄 Image

When people (like me) confirm that nuclear energy is "safe", what do we mean by that?

I'll tell you what I mean by it, by defining five levels of nuclear safety as it pertains to historical accidents, existing technology and modern nuclear designs. (thread)
The first level of safety is "no safety", meaning that the reactor will support runaway chain reaction as soon as it's turned on, destroying itself within seconds. It won't explode like a nuclear bomb but it will certainly look like some sort of explosion.
The second level of safety is where measures are taken to ensure a destructive runaway chain reaction can't occur during normal operation, through engineering negative feedback into the design.

In other words: as the reactor heats up, the reaction stops.
