Rob W 0 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The latest OFGEN report points out that we're running down our nuclear power stations and eliminating the coal fired ones just as N Sea gas runs out Renewables just can't fill all the gap The power companies won't invest serious cash now - hits their share prices and bonuses for something that will happen when everyone currently running them is retired after all Looks like we'll have to go back top a State sponsored Strategic Authority to either MAKE them invest or build the new power stations itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooner 243 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) i think renewables will fill the gap, new tech has been developed which gives the ability to store 40-80 kWh (about the amount an averge NA family homes uses/day) in your basement in two batteries that are the same size as car batteries can't seem to find the article i read it in......... i'll keep looking Edited February 5, 2010 by tooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 With all due respect Rob, is it going to be any of your concern? exactly. Strange to see Rob adopting an "I'm alright Jack" attitude for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 No - I am concerned - the problem is one of short term incentives against long term needs, the planning system against new installations, energy security v. GAZPROM Not easy to find solutions but if we don't we'll all be out of electricty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
