So - is everybody finally sick to death of European energy stories?

Just giggling quietly in a corner I'm afraid. What can one say?

Well, it was so quiet that I could not hear it ;-)

Well, actually, I'd rather see a draft of Energize Europe! <wink></wink>

But this one was really funny. The irony of the situation  is priceless. You can't make this stuff up.

Well, the relevant raw material is slowly building up. Soon we'll have a critical mass...

Maybe I'm just worried about having to take a stand on nuclear energy too clearly, and see the debate hijecked by this!

I suspect you'd have the debate hijacked by nuclear energy regardless.

What would be interesting to know is whether the existing commitment to nuclear energy by selected countries would be enough to provide the nuclear slice of the pie.

Yeah, that would be interesting. In France, Sweden and Finland the nuclear share will stay the same or increase for quite some time. In Britain (home of all energy woes) it is set to plummet. I guess it will fall in Germany too if Merkel doesn't save it (please!).

Also a lot (half a dozen or so) eastern and central European countries are expanding nuclear energy.

Back on main topic:
Natural gas seems to be such a nuisance. Why not just get rid of it? We use no natural gas in Ultima Thule and everything works perfectly anyways.


Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

In 1986, or so, I was talking about nuke plants with someone and I remarked it was too bad we couldn't just ship the waste material to the sun.

He looked at me, deadly serious, and said, "But that would make the Sun radioactive."

(I swear to God I'm not making this up!)

T'was then I decided to be a passive observer of the Great Energy Debate.
