Little 🧵about #climatechange

I consider myself non-politically aligned; because I want to be able to talk to everyone about issues that I think are important. I do seek allies, and I have many. But they know, I'm willing to reach out to other people. About #climatechange I do think it is serious, but I have actually read all the literature to be able to explain why. Most just yell stuff into the void.

I am worried about the tropics. couple billion people live there. Worried about water & Crops.

It is irreconcilable that the Netherlands is only observing the formation of a #nuclear alliance with France, while it has a clear commitment to build at least 2 new reactors (and 5.5 Billion € reserved).

This is a problem. We just spoke with Germany about how we can work together in Energy terms. Some of our politicians are quite clear. It is at least highly questionable that Germany is closing its #nuclear reactors, while we need a dependable elektricity system for our economies

@SilvioErkens Groot fan van Scrabble (@ngundogan77)!

Kanttekening bij de opmerking van Thijssen, het gebied in Fukushima is inmiddels weer grotendeels bewoond, en er worden zelfs gewassen verbouwd. @SilvioErkens @ngundogan77 Kanttekening bij Thijssen: De vertraging van de meeste kernprojecten zijn voor een deel te wijten aan de overheid die nieuwe eisen stelt tijdens de bouw van kerncentrales. (Space-grade welds in Frankrijk, meer beton in Finland). Desondanks is de centrale in Finland rendabel.

My beef with LCOE is that it only shows one side of the coin. The cost side. And many people only regard cost without looking at the potential benefits. Show me any other source that creates so much good...

(thanks for @jrmygrdn for sharing the source: foratom.org/press-release/…) Additionally, this shows us that cost per unit of capacity is only one aspect of costs. And that Capacity Factor together with operational lifetime are the two most impactful metrics of the entire LCOE idea.
