These numbers show the point I'm trying to make here. The resources currently occupied in putting the current inefficient technology to use could be instead used in R&D to develop the next generation solutions faster. During this period of time nuclear reactors (or thorium reactors in the future) could provide a fairly clean and stable source of energy until viable renewable alternatives are found.
- lispm 15y agoThere is little inefficiency. Thorium reactors won't provide any sizeable contribution until 2050. Plus then we go the nuclear route, but again differently. Germany tried already: * boiling water reactor * pressurized water reactor * Thorium pebble bed reactor * Fast Breeder and more enough is enough Nobody wants a Thorium reactor in Germany. We had one already. It failed.
