Sentences with phrase «current nuclear energy technologies»

Not exact matches

As long as nuclear technology remains important for keeping America in its current position of global leadership, the U.S. government will keep pumping research's life - blood (money) into nuclear - energy - related science.

-- From the Summer 2001 Edition of University Currents, a publication of DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology.

They all expect that somehow the technologies (whatever they are) will magically thwart the Second Law; that we will somehow replace tit - for - tat the current energy flow from fossil fuel with sunlight or nuclear or geothermal, you name it.

Current technology includes nuclear fission, which is more than capable of dealing with global energy needs, and at costs lower than fossil — IF it were only deployed.

Even so, if you weigh the risks (fully considered and in the light of current technology as well as developing technology) against the benefits, nuclear is by far and away the best, cheapest and safest form of energy production.

Seems to me, nuclear power in it's current form, is a mature technology that is being overtaken by more advanced energy forms that are more efficient and cost effective.

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]

They believe the transition to a wind & solar powered energy grid could be made in two decades or less using current technology, and at an affordable cost — but only if the many roadblocks now being thrown up by nuclear and fossil fuel interests can be overcome.

Increasingly, analysts describe current designs as «bridging technologies,» stepping stones toward more advanced clean energy, whether in the form of perovskite solar cells or modular nuclear reactors.

A 100 % renewable energy transition globally by 2050 is both technological possible and will reduce the average cost of energy by 30 % from current fossil fuel and nuclear power prices according to a comprehensive 2017 study of the European Energy Watch Group led by physicist and German PV pioneer Hans - Josef Fell and performed by Berlin's Lappeenranta University of Technenergy transition globally by 2050 is both technological possible and will reduce the average cost of energy by 30 % from current fossil fuel and nuclear power prices according to a comprehensive 2017 study of the European Energy Watch Group led by physicist and German PV pioneer Hans - Josef Fell and performed by Berlin's Lappeenranta University of Technenergy by 30 % from current fossil fuel and nuclear power prices according to a comprehensive 2017 study of the European Energy Watch Group led by physicist and German PV pioneer Hans - Josef Fell and performed by Berlin's Lappeenranta University of TechnEnergy Watch Group led by physicist and German PV pioneer Hans - Josef Fell and performed by Berlin's Lappeenranta University of Technology.

Fixing the problems of the current DOE loan guarantee program and ensuring that we have an effective financing authority for a broad range of clean energy technologies, including renewables, nuclear, energy efficiency, and carbon capture and storage, needs to be one of our highest priorities.

Clean Energy Technologies Can Return CO2 to Safe Levels This Century Though current atmospheric carbon dioxide levels of about 385 parts per million are already above the revised safe level of 350ppm being promoted by scientists, Kharecha said that it is still possible to return them to safe levels by the end of this century if we engage in «Herculean» efforts to shift towards renewable energy sources, increase the use of nuclear power, and apply carbon sequestration technologies on existing coal power pEnergy Technologies Can Return CO2 to Safe Levels This Century Though current atmospheric carbon dioxide levels of about 385 parts per million are already above the revised safe level of 350ppm being promoted by scientists, Kharecha said that it is still possible to return them to safe levels by the end of this century if we engage in «Herculean» efforts to shift towards renewable energy sources, increase the use of nuclear power, and apply carbon sequestration technologies on existing coal power penergy sources, increase the use of nuclear power, and apply carbon sequestration technologies on existing coal power plants.

Their current 5 - year plan is full of action to develop knowledge and products that are based on the view that there will be a huge global market demand for new energy technology, rail transport, ice breaking ships, nuclear power, etc..

Many new technologies could change the whole picture such as massive energy storage, efficient electro - catalytic hydrogen production, ambient temperature superconductors etc. but with the current technology investing in wind / solar over nuclear will aggravate our GHG emission problems not improve them.
