We should not simply pit nuclear against renewables; nuclear and renewable energy technologies will have to work alongside each other.If we do not consider the benefits of nuclear power, then any demand that cannot be provided by renewables will have to be met by the continued use of fossil fuels..
Replacing coal: a safe, reliable, sustainable path to clean energy.As decarbonising is the principal challenge we face, we need sources of clean energy.Nuclear is a clean source of energy.
Nuclear energy doesn’t create air pollution or release greenhouse gases.The steam created in the energy production process is recycled into the atmosphere and the relatively small amount of fuel that is needed to provide the required energy can be stored safely.
We do need to ensure our long-term solutions for storing spent fuel are fit for purpose, but we will only have the time to worry about that if we tackle the immediate climate crisis.. As such, although nuclear energy itself isn’t technically renewable, we can be confident of the fact that it is a flexible, clean energy source already known to complement renewables well, and which can be used to create a reliable power grid.. 8.
Flexible, advanced reactors sit alongside wind and solar in markets with high penetrations of renewables, and can enable similarly high penetrations of variable renewables in future energy systems.I love that so much.’ GWS offers a range of different studios from 150 square foot units for 1 to 2 people and runs all the way to 10,000 square foot units for 100+ employees.
Minchin says, ‘Businesses can grow in the space.Lots of people do upsize - that’s what the building is designed for,’ she adds, ’there’s also quite a lot of demand for the smaller atrium-facing spaces too as they are good shop fronts.
People like that because everyone who comes into the building will see you.’.In a space with so many vibrant creative businesses, I wonder about collaboration opportunities.
