At 08:30 - "Ending Globalisation and Restoring Local Economies" is predicted. Now that is a life-changer!
What do you think?
Is Peak Oil for the good or for the bad?
We need to stop burning all hydrocarbons for energy and save them for the essential things we need.
The way to do it - Get the first-of-a-kind LFTR built and get the proof of its inherent safety into the faces of the general public - Oil Prices will do the rest - and the rest is: Worldwide deployment of LFTRs for electricity and for the creation of a hydrogen-economy for fuelling transportation and for fertiliser production.
To generate electricity for a city of 1 million people for 1 year:___Mine 3,200,000 tonnes of coal - emit 8,500,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases and particulates - landfill 900,000 cubic metres of toxic/radioactive fly-ash.___OR___Mine 50,000 tonnes of uranium ore - emit no greenhouse gases - produce 24 tonnes of radiotoxic 'waste'.___OR___Mine 50 tonnes of equivalent thorium ore - emit no greenhouse gases - produce 0.8 tonnes of radiotoxic 'waste'.

It would have to be a second of a kind, the first ran for years at Oak Ridge, TN back in the early 60's.
ReplyDeleteLFTRs are generally thought of as the 2 fluid version (different blanket and core salts) and fuelled by Th232. The Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) ran from 1965 to 1969 at ORNL and was a core module only; this was fuelled by U235, Pu239 and U233.
