LIMITS OF RENEWABLE & BASELOAD ENERGY SOURCES (PART 2)
This is a co-hosted event with Floirda West Coast Section and the Southeastern Michigan Section Chapter, C16 Please goto https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/243682 for event information and registration page.
These two seminars are an outgrowth of lectures and book writing over a 5-year period given at the University of Florida and with the IEEE P&E Society. We often read that we must eliminate all fossil fuels and nuclear reactors and replace them with 100% renewable energy sources. These two seminars present data that clearly show that is not possible. While elimination of fossil fuels is an urgent goal, what do we replace them with? These data indicate that nuclear power is the only resource that can provide dependable, safe, pollution-free emission, and when delivered in small reactor designs it can be mass produced in a near plug and play configuration at a competitive cost. Part II closes with a summary of future direction, and a digital version of the Book will be distributed free to attendees.
