It amuses me that if ever solar looks like raising its head there are all the reasons why it wont work however if we mention nuclear them we hear all the reasons it will work and yet none of the reasons why it wont work , or do we hear how the price of nuclear fuel because it will be a world monopoly without any completion whatsoever will be very expensive ..To say otherwise fails to recognize the forces of the market..A then world market..
AND if talking about alternative energy supply the cost of energy to produce it is the first thing placed up against before it finally being fast dismissed .
It amuses me that installing desalinators that require high maintenance with pumps and the units to service and enjoy an ever escalating fuel bill to manage are better than dams that have an initial capital cost yet are not dependant on high maintenance and ever rising fuel bills ..And dams last longer than machinery . If also find it strange that a dam can be less attractive than a plant . I find it strange that real measures to reduce green house can not be implemented . Turn off the lights..Simple things..Look at real war time ww2 .. there was no buldust then a foe was met with belts tightened and the problem faced.
When experts say nuclear is not the way to go why are they not listened to .
This Historic Climate change resulting in global warming can be addressed in many ways yet only two are on the table..two very expensive ineffective solutions . We may well need those solutions but vested interests are moving our eye off the ball by not stating the real problem..it is going to happen ..not we can sortta fix it..so why waste money on desalinatotrs which will require expensive maintence and expensive fuel be it solar, nuclear, or oil supplied.
I am not about sinking all ships I am about floating all ships . I have changed my views in many ways but looked into this a lot and not all opinions get public view. There is a lot of mis information in all camps.. that’s not bad that’s the way it is ... If one wants to do something the first thing is become informed. Simple if you care that’s a starting place .
