Recently wind power made a new record by providing nearly 50% of Spain’s electrical requirements! however this was in the middle of the night on a very windy but not very cold Sunday night, a time renowned for its very light usage of electricity. I enjoyed reading the register’s article on the subject www.theregister.co.uk
This and the discovery of a website protesting against the building of new nuclear power plants in the UK got me thinking, If people are protesting against and no one is protesting for then it might give the public/government a slanted view of opinion. I personally am pro nuclear power and cannot wait for the world of cheap and limitless energy that fusion power will bring, but for the moment fission power will help us to reduce our CO2 while continuing to be a first world nation.
The question is thus, should there be a pro nuclear blog? (I am not asking are you pro nuclear but should there be a blog dedicated to the debate?)
