Energy [R]evolution - A POLICY TO RUIN THE PLANET 54 TIMES MORE QUICKLY!





Members of Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth now is the time to use your common sense. Stop listening to the siren calls of your 'experts'. You know that the Capacity Factor (CF) of wind turbines is pathetic and if you look up at one of these things, common sense should tell you that a great deal of resources and energy has been used to make and erect them. For every kWh of electricity you get out, tonnes of steel, concrete and neodimium has been used and the planet desecrated that much more.


You know there is an insurmountable issue of intermittency. Common sense should again tell you what the 'solutions' from your 'experts' mean:  More desecration - back-up CCGTs (more desecration) or batteries (more desecration) or pumped storage (more desecration) or inter-regional/international smart grids (more desecration).

   
 Please - use your common sense and come over to breeder reactors (the small modular versions). They can provide all of the energy requirements of every individual on the planet (at developed world standards) for as long as Homo.s can exist on Planet Earth.




You just have to decide if you want the 'Liquid Metal - Uranium' one or the 'Molten Salt - Thorium' one.

I know which I prefer - do you need any help making your mind up?

GREENPEACE - LIKE IT OR NOT, UK 'NEW NUCLEAR' WILL HAPPEN!

But Sir David King does disagree with you:  
"..... power outages could occur as early as 2017 as old nuclear, oil and coal-fired power stations are closed because not enough is being done to replace them. The school's study shows Britain can’t meet its goal of cutting carbon emissions 80 percent by 2050 without ramping up nuclear power and electrifying both transport and heating....."

What else did he say?  "".....switching all generation to renewables would be 
“enormously expensive” because everything 
would need to be backed up by equivalent 
gas-fired capacity for when the wind doesn't blow. The power grid could support a maximum of 20 percent large-scale wind power alongside smaller turbines, solar panels and geothermal heat pumps fitted to homes....""

Every UK member of Greenpeace must leave the sanctuary of their Disney World existence, forget the delusion of their Energy [R]evolution policy and come into the real world, where nuclear really does do the job of keeping the lights on - all of the time!


But each and every one of you can help to make the Government sit up and take notice of LFTR development. If LFTRs provide the UK's future nuclear capacity, they will allay all your fears about safety and long term storage of waste.


You can either sit on the sidelines chanting your mantras as new PWR nuclear power stations get built, or join the LFTR movement and get action on a safer and greener alternative. See the above links to the "38 DEGREES" and "E-PETITION" campaigns.

38 Degrees -- The hottest Campaigning Group in town.

Vote for LFTRs, to get it to the front of the '38 Degrees' campaigns. There is no single, more important issue, to prevent the Government wasting £billions of our hard earned taxes on inconsequential ways of meeting our carbon targets. LFTRs is the safest and most economical way of meeting carbon targets and it doesn't matter whether or not you believe in global warming, because carbon targets will impact you - in your pocket.

Whatever we save, by getting the Government to commit, full-bore, to LFTRs, we can spend on other services we believe in. Only our gross negligence will result in us allowing 120 m high wind turbines to decorate pristine landscapes and coastlines. Only dullards would pay the exorbitant cost of trying to squeeze carbon dioxide molecules into places in which physics will not allow them to reside.

38 Degrees is a force to be reckoned with, when it comes to effective campaigning. Please use the following link, to cast up to 10 votes for LFTRs
