What is the Lightfoot Institute?
A non-profit research educational organization
with a compelling message of hope for the future

Mission philosophy

• People are as much a part of nature as every
  other living thing
• Every living thing depends on energy without it
  everything dies
• People the environment depend upon each other

4
Mission philosophy

• All sources of energy must be reliable robust,
  especially our electricity grid
• Energy is necessary to adapt to warming or
  cooling of climate
• Renewable energy is important, but much too small
  to replace the concentrated stored solar energy
  of coal oil

5
Are you aware that. . .?
Fossil fuels are a giant bank account of stored
solar energy. . . renewable energy is like living
paycheck to paycheck. . .
6
Basis of our message

• Solid information about energy supply past,
  present future
• Award winning acclaimed DVD, Nobodys Fuel
• Publicly presented to thousands of people
  worldwide
• Its all science no magic here

7
Are you aware that. . .?
Energy efficiency is capable of increasing
consumption. . .

"Mr. Lightfoot's DVD 'Nobody's Fuel' presents
more up-to-date, accurate information about
energy than any source I have encountered. I
encourage anyone interested in our nation's
economic future, and anyone concerned about
global warming to obtain a copy of the DVD
'Nobody's Fuel', and consider seriously the facts
it presents, and what our energy policies should
be." Mike McCormack, Member of Congress
(Retired) Chairman of the House Subcommittee on
Energy Research and Production from 1973 through
1980

Dispelling Myths

• Today there are 438 nuclear plants in 29
  countries 57 under construction in 14
• France gets more than 85 of its electricity from
  nuclear power has the cleanest air in Europe
• Many countries find nuclear a viable alternative
  to fossil fuels to meet electricity demand

11
Are you aware that. . .?
One Kilogramof uranium isbaseball-size
contains the powerof 2.3 million litres of
gasoline. . .
12
New reactor design

• Most of today's nuclear reactors are thermal
  reactors and use only 0.7 of the uranium
• The remaining 99 contains a small amount of
  waste which is of concern for thousands of years
• An alternative design, known as fast reactors,
  uses virtually all of the uranium

13
Fast Breeder reactors

• Are 100 times more fuel efficient than thermal
  reactors
• Radioactive materials remaining from fast
  reactors are of concern for less than 500 years,
  rather than thousands of years
• Therefore, waste from fast breeder reactors is
  more easily managed

14
A use for nuclear waste

• Recycled uranium from nuclear waste is excellent
  fuel for fast breeder reactors
• Safety of thermal reactors is proven. Small
  differences favour fast breeder reactors
• Use of both types of reactors can grow because
  safety is under control

15
Are you aware that. . .?
A severe energy shortage is possible within your
lifetime. . .
16
Our plan for abundant energy

• Provides effective protection of the environment
• Maintains the well-being of everyone on earth
• Lets us adapt to climate change
• Supports 3 times current world energy use by 2100
  to lift poor nations out of poverty
