    Rolls Royce 210 million for Small N Reactor and then the AWU here gets on side

    So much rolling the right way

    Honestly not a care if we do it or not myself. Suspect we will follow the leaders

    Germany running out of GAS! Wholesale pice up 400%

    Energiekrise: Energie-Versorger gehen pleite und kundigen Vertrage | agrarheute.com

    English translation ""Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer you any natural gas products," said the energy giant E.ON's website last week. The reason for this is the massive increase in wholesale prices , which have quadrupled within a very short time, says Otima Energie, for example. These high additional costs can only be passed on to customers to a limited extent by contract. So the companies are making massive losses. In other European countries - such as the United Kingdom - a number of energy providers have already filed for bankruptcy. In other countries - such as France, Spain, Poland or Italy - the state tries to protect consumers and companies from the worst consequences of the crisis through subsidies or price caps ....
    Politicians are now discussing possible measures to curb gas prices for consumers. The EU Commission proposed a whole series of measures that are already being implemented in France, Spain, Italy and Poland. However, the Commission considers the current rise in energy prices to be temporary, as it is mainly driven by the high demand for the corona pandemic. The Commission experts believe that the situation will stabilize in spring at the latest."

    The only solution is clear. No possibility of replacing all that power with out Nuclear being a part of it. Germany will turn back to nuclear FAST and the game is on for the U price.

    POMS GAS woes are now "Goto Energy's collapse takes the number of customers affected by the current wave of UK energy company failures to more than two million."

    Its sink and drown with fixed prices for the suppliers meaning they are dead as "Britain's energy minister Kwasi Kwarteng said this month that more companies could collapse but ruled out providing support for struggling energy firms"

    Royal Dutch Shell pick up the scraps of the dead business in the UK in the link above. I wonder how much they extracted from the UK Government to keep gas flowing?

    Super cycle mentioned? Spot price is My long time suspicion and a few $$ has now turned to $$$$$$$$$. Not suggesting any investment or financial advice. My win plus in this sector is not in any way assured in the future!

    I knew all the data this gent explains well. I am not a pump and dump promise. Not selling anything I have.

    30 years ago nuclear looked like a very very good choice to reduce risks of climate change and was supported by the late David Suziki.

    Times have changed significantly since then with a mix of solar and wind as the primary generation mechanisms now beating all other forms of generation from a cost perspective.

    Simply add pumped hydro, hydrogen and some battery for storage and you win. Then also add ammonia as the intermediate and safety transportable and saleable ingredient for hydrogen production and we can not only generate enough green energy for our own use, but also export - see here: What is green hydrogen, how does green ammonia fit in, and could they pave Australia's way to a renewable future?

    Speaking of batteries, a mate works for a power company and did the sums on how many big batteries we'd need to meet peak demand in Victoria over summer for one day of demand just for ****s and giggles. 1147 times the size of the SA tesla battery is the answer. Staggering.

    Also, wind, hydro and solar are all great but they don't provide good base load like coal does. The only alternative to produce the reliable base load is nuclear with current tech.

    Once the other technologies catch up there might be alternatives but base load is what we need to source.

    Fully agree here, Eu, Japan, US Canada....... ++++ are all having an Energy crunch right now. 30 plus years much of the tech you mention ( I love) may be close to close to replacing the current demand in just a few of those other less fortunate places. Storage here is in no way close to cover the lulls in solar and wind. Each of the current big batteries are sub 30 minutes. I may be wrong yet 15 N plants in Japan are restarting now suggesting other options are not yet close to here?

    I have subscribe for what we can see for free

    Such a lot of money !!! Some other news which is private may!!!!! just might----- could or NOT make the 90% +++ 'un' realized gains I have look????

    At least 150 new reactors is known news Needs 450 billion investment by china



    Not suggesting any investment or financial advice. My win plus in this sector is not in any way assured in the future!

    Germany is a flash point for Nuclear Energy I think as is its naibours

    Austrian Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner was the first national figure to warn consumers last month that low energy supplies might make the lights go out this winter. Tanner launched a nationwide poster campaign instructing Austrians to prepare for power cuts by keeping 15 days' worth of food on hand.

    “The question is not whether a blackout will come, but rather when,” she told the press.

    Spain was next, after Algeria shut off one of its two pipelines feeding natural gas to the Iberian Peninsula at the end of October. Algiers says it will fulfill its contracts, and the Spanish government is projecting an aura of calm about gas supplies. Ecological Transition Minister Teresa Ribera insists the country has enough gas reserves to cover at least 40 days’ worth of demand, far more than it should need.



    Ayuso's statements, and the ensuing media speculation over blackouts, triggered panic buying in Spain, with hardware stores reporting a run on camping stoves, flashlights and canned food. The stockpiling of survivalist supplies has been especially noticeable on the Balearic island of Mallorca, which is home to a large German-speaking population that has been exposed to talk of blackouts coming from both Vienna and Madrid.



    The title is interesting "Europe’s energy freakout " Watching and waiting in my investments

    Honestly N and hydrogen are my worst habits. You may have thought it was a kooky little EV Henrik Langer restart with contracted prices locked at above cost + Uranium is nuts at present. Add poor Russian soldier ordered to dig Trenches in chernobyl and YEP its crazy+++ They were ordered by some ignorant russian officer to fry their testicles and themself with Significant dose of radiation - OUCH. Bet they are grumpy with a issue best left to C.A.!

    If you are interest in how Uranium is now becoming a traded commodity you might like to look at "Sprott Physical Uranium Trust" Not investment advice!

    "SEOUL -- South Korea has embraced mini reactors as part of the government's approach to achieving carbon neutrality, even though the move backpedals from President Moon Jae-in's earlier pledge to phase out nuclear power.The small modular reactors, or SMRs, will be developed primarily at Munmu Daewang Science Research Center, which is scheduled to open in 2025 in the city of Gyeongju. The government earmarked 326.3 billion won ($281 million) for construction, and the whole project is expected to cost over $500 million."Our country will further develop nuclear technology as the driving force for energy and the economy," Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum said at the groundbreaking ceremony in late July.The complex will house 16 research facilities. Apart from SMRs, the research center will explore technology for storing nuclear waste and dismantling reactors.
    " Link is/maybe paywalled IF have looked at it in the last year

    With France. US, Russia, UK and South Korea trying to get SMR commercial and for sale news is getting hotter
