    other countries will pay us to take their waste. we put it in the reactor to make the electricity.

    the fuel isnt free, its actual making us money.
    people talking about free wind and sun are not thinking big enough.

    I wasnt asking for the way forward, or questioning renewable s, i was looking for source data, rather than repeated opinions

    Why is it then that Corporates and banks are backing beach front high rise construction and new coastal estate developments when, apparently, the evidence is clear that the sea level is going to rise?

    Nothing to do with "Beliefs", all to do with hedging bets and making a motza.

    Because the clients will sell and repay the lenders well before the sea rises?

    Appears to be a lot of experts at Aulro, so would appreciate them sharing their knowledge, as opposed ot opinions

    Please nothing from The Guardian and the ilk, a source document if possible

    Google is your friend. But I know you can't be serious. Sarcastic perhaps, but not serious.

    Cost of Solar Power vs Cost of Wind Power, Coal, Nuclear, & Natural Gas
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Mini nuclear reactor power generators appear to be extremely safe and reliable.

    How many are now powering military vessels around the world?

    I'm thinking if it is that "easy" to maintain these small reactors on ships , it should be just as easy to put a small reactor safely in small communities.

    Never mind the big ones...lots of little ones should do the trick.

    Absolutely, slap some solar panels on your house and watch your energy bill plummet, put enough on and you'll pro'ly get money back.

    That looks like either a southerly facing solar array or a heating load problem in winter or a time of use issue. Do you have an electric hot water unit, and/or electric space/room heaters, as these are the least efficient? Still looking on the bright side, the bill would be higher without solar.
