A Balanced Energy Portfolio Is Critical But South Carolina Doesn't Seem to Get It. https://lnkd.in/gcT3Ac6B #NetZero #ElectrifyEverything #Electricity #Coal #ClimateChange #NaturalGas #Nuclear

Australia's national science agency (CSIRO) revises its analysis of electricity/energy costs for Australia, in response to previous criticisms. https://lnkd.in/gGHhrgCt #energy #nuclear

This could be an important opportunity for the #offshore #energy and #renewables sectors.... could small-scale #nuclear reactors be installed on oil/gas platforms? Would these just power the facility or connect to #national and #international grids to provide #greenenergy to shore? If offshore #chargingstations can be deployed - could this provide power to #electric -powered #ships? https://lnkd.in/gYNWdwy7

#Switzerland: ‘Clear Majority’ Want #Nuclear In Mix Along With Renewables, Survey Shows. #nuclearenergy #nuclearpower #nuclearnews Reactors seen by many as essential for guaranteeing electricity supply https://lnkd.in/eYWBAzuP

Are nuclear and CCUS the key to net zero? They were certainly big in the energy news last week. Find out more in our latest #EnergyTransition: #CarbonCapture #Nuclear #Energy #TMO4+ #CodeModification #EnergyTransition

Contrary to what the manipulated LCOE indexes try to promulgate, when you factor in its reliability and safety power supply, #Nuclear is by far cheaper than #Solar or #Wind, which are available only intermittently… The political statements that #Wind and #Solar power can make a meaningful contribution to actual #CleanEnergy needs is more a wish than a real fact… If you don’t believe me, in the last weeks or so different articles contextualizing this into the #Ontario´s #ElectricityMix have been published with the following conclusions: #Wind and #Solar in #Ontario remain two to four times as expensive as #Nuclear, four to eight times as expensive as #Hydroelectricity, and 10 to 20 times as expensive as #FossilFuels would be in a free market…

It should be considered both from reliability perspective. SMRs can complement solar power by providing consistent electricity generation. Solar plants contribute renewable energy during sunny periods while Energy storage bridges gaps during solar fluctuations. SMRs provide baseload stability and inertia, which plays an important role in stabilizing grid frequency during disturbances.
