Cost of electricity from new nuclear power stations

juerg — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:56:35 +0200

Current discussions about possibilities to mitigate the effects of global warming have also opened discussions about a potential revival of nuclear power. In this context, it is often argued with very low cost of electricity from nuclear power plants. This seems to be one of the strongest arguments in favor of atomic energy. To determine the future cost of electricity from nuclear power, the cost from currently operating power stations is taken into account. This is not correct, however.

Good News About Climate Crisis.

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 23:33:07 +0100

It's about the aging "theory" of CO2 being deemed a poison that is making out climate spiral out of control. This has been predicted for 25 years now. Yes, the theory has been predicting the dangerous effects of CO2 on our climate for a quarter of a century. I still shovel snow, go to Fla. to get warm every year, pay heating bills and ski a lot. This is obviously a cultural issue, not scientific and the growing debate is coming to a head as our planet cycles into another unexplainable cool trend. Recently record cold temperatures have been set. That was NOT predicted.

Europeans attitude towards the environment

juerg — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 19:41:41 +0100

Summary of Eurobarometer survey published on March 13, 2008. The report shows that Europeans are increasingly aware of the role played by the environment in their daily lives. More than 95% of European citizens feel that it is important to protect the environment. Some 80% also feel it influences their quality of life and consider that they have a role to play in protecting it. Climate change (global warming) tops the list of Europeans' environmental concerns, followed by pollution and man-made disasters.

A majority are also uneasy about the use of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture.

Water scarcity and global warming

juerg — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 11:40:04 +0100

With continued population growth, increased per capita consumption, and anticipated climate change, the global water situation appears bleak. Since water scarcity is a highly localized issue determined by regional climatic and demographic factors, a single solution will not solve all of the world's water scarcity problems.

However, improved management, more water efficient technologies, and support for the world's most vulnerable countries and ecosystems will likely play leading roles. According to the UN-backed World Commission on Water, coping with water scarcity will require global investment of $100 billion per year. Willingness to invest this sum will be vital to the future of human well-being and economic development in all countries of the world.

Nuclear power

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 17:19:33 +0100

Nuclear Power is obvioulsy the way foward out of the current, and continually mounting, energy crisis. As of now (Feb 2008) it is the most efficient source of producing the mass quantities of energy that are demanded by the lifestyles and needs of today.

Comment from the editor: Most efficient? Less than 1% of the Uranium power is converted into electricity in a nuclear power plant. This is indeed very inefficient!

Questions about the cause of global warming

Effects of global warming - IPCC draft

juerg — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 15:54:04 +0100

This new report of IPCC will basically confirm the cause and effects of global warming, which have already been know for years. The evidence of earlier predictions is much increased and approaching certainty, however.

Offline Carbon footprint calculator

juerg — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:37:14 +0200

The attached Excel sheet can be used to calculate both CO2 emissions as well as primary energy requirements for the following activities:

Heating with oil, gas, coal, wood, solar energy or heat pumps

Electricity consumption. The actual mix of power generation (coal, oil, natural gas, wood, nuclear energy, hydro energy, solar energy, wind, geothermal or waste) is taken into consideration.

Travelling by car for diesel and petrol fuelled cars. Either by actual fuel consumption or by distance and average fuel consumption.

Travelling by bus (kilometres or miles)

Travelling by train (kilometres or miles)

What is a carbon footprint - definition

juerg — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 17:29:31 +0100

A carbon footprint is defined as:

The total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).

THE EARTH IS FINE

THE EARTH IS FINE. AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

Is there any part of that you don't understand?
The idea of global warming really isn't bunk. But I wanted to be sure I have your attention. It is however "junk science", designed to scare the hell out of you.

CO2 concentration causing global temperature increase

juerg — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:28:52 +0100

There is no doubt any more: In order to mitigate global warming, the emission of greenhouse gases must be reduced, the sooner the better. This will then lead to a stabilization of the greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere - and in the very long term hopefully to a decrease of its concentration.The level at which the greenhouse gas concentration gets stabilized does determine the warming effect, i.e. the temperature increase.

The following graph shows the relation between the greenhouse gas concentration (expressed as CO2-equivalents) and the resulting average global temperature increase on the surface.
