Essentials for a happy civilisation

• After studying Nuclear power more and Working on
  several more UK Nuclear plants I became
  resolutely opposed to Nuclear Power in both Civil
  Power and Weapons of mass destruction.

Love,
Education,
Energy,
(Renewable of course)

Children of Nuclear Power

• And yet, we are all Children of Nuclear Power We
  and our precious Earth are made of Elements which
  can only be produced in a Cataclysmic series of
  events at the end of a Stars Hydrogen fuelled
  Nuclear life when it explodes as a Supernova.

Children of Nuclear PowerOrion Nebula

• This Stardust occasionally coalesces into a
  swirling mass and produces a new star sometimes
  with planets and perhaps sometimes with planets
  that can support life as in our Solar system.

• In our case our Sun Condensed and became a Fusion
  Reactor converting Hydrogen to Helium and
  Energy
• Luckily Earth was at just the right safe distance
  to allow life to exist.

Our Sun Condensed and became a Fusion Reactor
converting Hydrogen to Helium and Energy. Luckily
Earth was at just the right safe distance to
allow life to develop and flourish.

• Too Close to our life giving SUN and we would be
  in the death zone.
• A nuclear reactor is not friendly close up

• Earth happens to be just far enough away from the
  deadly radiation of our own advanced Nuclear
  Fusion Reactor the Sun - to enable Life to
  flourish. We are further protected from dangerous
  Radiation by the magnetic fields produced by our
  Iron core and our life supporting atmosphere and
  its Ozone barriers.

We live on a miraculous oasis protected from the
destructive forces of the Universe by an
extraordinary combination of finely balanced
fortuitous circumstances. Our ancestors
worshipped the SUN and we should do the same!

• We live on a miraculous oasis protected from the
  destructive forces of the Universe by an
  extraordinary combination of finely balanced
  fortuitous circumstances and we are busy
  destroying it!

Our SUN gives us at least 1,000 times more energy
than we need.

In many diverse forms

• We need to convert our Energy production from
  Fossil Fuels to a benign system very, very
  urgently to avoid sinking into a runaway
  greenhouse effect which could severely disrupt or
  even eliminate life on Earth. Stern worries about
  a 20 drop in economic activity, I worry about
  the destruction of our Oasis of Life.

We NEED to Plan for a Massive Move towards RE

Direct Solar Energy

• Each Country has its own share of this bounty
  Libya presently exports Oil but it could export
  Solar energy from its vast desert regions which
  would dwarf its oil revenues and will never run
  out. ( for 3 billion yrs anyway)

Wave Power

Pelamis Wave Power

• Wave power being in a difficult environment is
  difficult to implement but Scotland being a
  shipbuilding Nation has the skills to make it
  work and the wave power resource off the West of
  Scotland is enough to supply all of Europes
  Electricity!

A GEGB study in the 1970s calculated that a wave
generator array off Western Scotland could supply
ALL of the UKs energy needs this is still true!
Maybe even enough for Europe too.

Wave Power - Wavegen
Ocean wave Energy gives up to 100kW per metre!

• Oscillating Water Column
• Wells Air Turbine

• Scotland is very rich in Solar Energy, but in
  more diverse forms than the Sahara desert. We
  have Solar radiation, Wind Power, Wave Power,
  Hydro Power and Tidal Power ( a combination of
  Solar and Lunar).

Scotland, the windiest Country in Europe has more
than enough potential to supply 100 of
Scotlands Electricity just from wind our Rural
Micro wind system Windcrofting alone could
supply up to 78 of Scotlands electricity.
