We need that hope and the energy that curiosity brings to imagine and realise the solutions..
Specifically, we need to decarbonisecoal plants, as at current rates, coal plants will use up all of the available CO. 2. budget by themselves.. 3.It is really not a question any more of comparing different types of energy production but, instead, a matter of comparing different portfolios of energy production that are able to produce the energy required with significantly lower carbon emissions, and that can also be implemented quickly enough.
The question is whether to do so we need an energy production portfolio without nuclear power, or one that includes nuclear energy.And so, in this case, the question ‘is nuclear energy renewable?’ may be less important than ‘can nuclear power help us tackle the climate crisis?’.You might decide against nuclear power because you believe that all our future energy requirements can be met by renewables; that all the required assets can be delivered in time to decarbonise; and that the overall context and incentives are right for this to happen.
And if they are not, you might still judge that the consequences for humanity are not as bad as the risks we would incur by using nuclear energy..Although some argue that it would be technically possible to meet all of our energy needs using renewable energy sources by 2050,.
4. it is much harder to argue that it is practically possible to achieve the necessary, aggressive decarbonising of emissions within the next decade.
The only countries that have been able to achieve the required rate in carbon emission reductions are those that have been using nuclear power (see figure below).. 5.‘Everywhere else, I have to take my own box because they don’t have sound,’ he says, ‘so that’s quite nice.’.
Maswiken also talks about the benefits of the lighting flexibility, with the ability to dim the lights or increase lumination, which he says provides options depending on the type of surgery being conducted.‘Particularly if you’re doing laparoscopic work,’ he says, ‘you might need to dim the light a bit to give the surgeon a better view of the images, so in that way it works very well.’ He also speaks about how lucky he feels to have windows in some of the theatres.
It’s quite an advantage,’ he says, ‘Because, just imagine, I’ve been in theatres all day and it helps at times, just to be able to reconnect a bit with the outside.’.This theme of bringing a sense of the outside into the internal hospital space is another picked up by multiple staff members.
