I find it very worrying that the “experts” don’t know what they don’t know about EROEI and its impact on society. National Grid ESO are recommending and planning for an energy scarce system with inherently low EROEI that is teetering on the edge of the energy cliff. This risks destruction of society as we know it. It […]

How to Make Nuclear Power Cheaper
My conclusion is that the cost of capital of nuclear can be reduced to the level used in the Government’s 2020 cost of energy report for offshore wind. Further improvements could be made by using the RAB model. Recent increases in interest rates will hit all forms of energy production and maybe nuclear power more […]
Nuclear Power Everywhere All at Once
That leaves nuclear power. Zero-emissions, extremely high EROEI, low mineral use and extremely low deaths per TWh generated. Nuclear power plants deliver reliable power for many decades. Moreover, five-eyes allies Australia and Canada have large Uranium resources, so access to fuel should be assured, enhancing energy security. Nuclear power should be the backbone of our […]
