Sentences with phrase «alternative nuclear technologies»

Not exact matches

Despite the modestly slowing rate of cost declines for utility - scale alternative energy generation, the gap between the costs of certain alternative energy technologies (e.g., utility - scale solar and onshore wind) and conventional generation technologies continues to widen as the cost profiles of such conventional generation remain flat (e.g., coal) and, in certain instances, increase (e.g., nuclear).

Some futurists envision among alternative prospects a world devastated by thermo - nuclear war, a vastly overcrowded, hungry population existing in misery, and a human race scratching in the earth with crude instruments because the raw materials necessary for an industrial technology have been exhausted beyond replacement.

From a strategic standpoint, which is the bigger competitor for nuclear: incumbent coal, oil and gas technologies or other alternative energy technologies?

All commonly used medical radioisotopes can be produced without using nuclear reactors or enriching uranium, or can be replaced with other isotopes that can be produced without a fission reaction, or by alternative technologies.

Strategies to meet the goal would vary by country and largely rely on advanced technology such as capturing the carbon dioxide spewed by coal - burning power plants; the Bush vision also foresees gasoline alternatives, nuclear power and an international clean technology fund to promote research into carbon - free energy sources.

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC, www.stfc.ac.uk) is keeping the UK at the forefront of international science and has a broad science portfolio and works with the academic and industrial communities to share its expertise in materials science, space and ground - based astronomy technologies, laser science, microelectronics, wafer scale manufacturing, particle and nuclear physics, alternative energy production, radio communications and radar.

What is the role of nuclear technology in a world of growing alternative power and digital innovation?

CEA Tech is the technology research branch of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), a key player in innovative R&D, defence & security, nuclear energy, technological research for industry and fundamental science, identified by Thomson Reuters as the second most innovative research organization in the world.

He concludes that replacing this energy would take a truly massive investment and a widespread, potentially intrusive deployment of alternative technologies, be they renewables, nuclear, or desert solar power.

Nuclear is still a factor of 600 safer than the main alternative, coal, and still much safer than all other electricity generation technologies (on a fully life cycle basis).

The only alternative baseload energy production technology is nuclear fission.

Today, most alternative energy technologies that are discussed — wind, solar, tides, waves, clean coal, nuclear fission and, perhaps one day, fusion — are useful only for making electricity.

Just to keep the costs in perspective with alternatives here are the alternatives again: — Current EU carbon price = $ 10 / t CO2 — Estimated abatement cost with renewable energy in Australia = $ 300 / t CO2 [3]-- Estimated abatement cost with nuclear energy in Australia = $ 65 / t CO2 — Nordhaus «Low - cost backstop» technology (assumes) = $ 270 / t CO2 [4]-- CO2 Abatement cost if / when we allow low - cost nuclear = < $ 0 / t CO2 [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

However, none of the alternative technologies, including nuclear power, appear at present to promise sufficient cost reduction to enable the electric power industry to again become a leading rather than a sustaining source of economic growth in the U.S. economy.

It is worth noting that virtually every alternative energy source we have — solar, wind, nuclear, and battery and fuel cell technologies for storage — resulted from public innovation and R&D, not private.

For example — We deny that alternative, renewable fuels can, with present or near - term technology, replace fossil and nuclear fuels, either wholly or in significant part, to provide the abundant, affordable energy necessary to sustain prosperous economies or overcome poverty.

The energy debate often doesn't stretch much further than fossil fuels and nuclear power, but there are a host of alternative technologies in the pipeline.

[20] The previous Prime Minister, John Howard, stated that nuclear power is a better alternative, as clean coal technology may not prove to be economically favorable.

Rather, a shale - gas boom flooded the U.S. market with cheap natural gas, offering utilities a cheaper, less risky alternative to nuclear technology.

We do not need subsidies any more for alternative energy, we need the other technologies to fully pay for the «externalities» of their operations, such as damaged kids, shortened lives, remediation of their damages, safe and permanent handling of their wastes, (such as coal ash and high level nuclear waste), and the like.

Nuclear, solar, and wind energy technologies may offer important benefits in the production of military, as well as civilian, alternative fuels.

It is because so little energy is being used, and because alternatives are ruled out ab initio (the model contains no nuclear power, and no technology for storing away carbon emissions from fossil fuels; natural gas prices rise strongly and coal plants are retired well before they are clapped out) that the model ends up with such a high percentage of renewables; indeed given the premise it's slightly surprising it doesn't end up with even more.
