New record
----------------------------------------http://www.edfenergy.com/energy/power-station/daily-statuses Nuclear free here we come  Running EDF UK reactor cores 7 of 15 Rest assured it will be the lack of Nuclear Power that will be blamed when the lights go out and not the 12GW of coal power stations that have been legislated out of business in the last 3 years. Great PR for the new Nuclear build when the lights go out. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was deliberate.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Oct 20, 2014 1:23:48 PM] |

for the record
----------------------------------------   I have been asked why these reactors stop working after I have been to see them  Combined output, including the 1/2 of Wylfa that is still running, got as low as 4099MW 17:40 on the 18th October 2014 One day it will be 0MW, hopefully soon |

http://www.euractiv.com/sections/eu-prioritie...e-and-energy-ebola-309428
----------------------------------------Agreed last night EU leaders tonight committed by 2030 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40%, and increase energy efficiency and renewables by at least 27%. http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_data/docs/pressdata/en/ec/145356.pdf As compared to 2005 They do know that 2030 is only 16 years away and by that time to meet this requirement we will only be able to use 60% of the fuel we did in 2005 to keep warm, cook, wash, travel and fuel employment in all it's forms? This can mean only one thing |
