Only possible with distributed electric power via safe, efficient & relatively cheap Thorium Molten Salt Nuclear Reactors.
Tony Seba's Clean Disruption Keynote presentation at the Swedbank Nordic Energy Summit in Oslo, Norway, March 17th, 2016. The keynote, based on the book 'Clean Disruption of Energy and Transportation' assert that four technology categories will disrupt energy and transportation by: 1- Batteries / Energy Storage 2- Electric Vehicles 3- Self-Driving Vehicles 4- Solar Energy The outcome of the Clean Disruption is that by 2030 • Centralized Power Generation will be disrupted. • Peaking Power Plants (Peakers) will be obsolete. • All new vehicles will be electric. • All new vehicles will be autonomous (self-driving). • Oil will be obsolete. • Coal, natural gas and nuclear will be obsolete. • 80+ per cent of parking spaces will be obsolete. • Individual car ownership will be obsolete. • All energy will be provided by solar (and wind) Clean Disruption is a technology disruption. Just like digital cameras disrupted film and the web disrupted publishing, Clean Disruption is inevitable and it will be swift. Copyright © 2016 by Tony Seba More info at: http://tonyseba.com
of nuclear energy at Oak Ridge Nat’l Lab first developed the LWR (light water
reactor) which has been in use ever since and has proven to have many design
flaws: SAFETY, EFFICIENCY 2-3%, COST, MANUFACTURING DIFFICULTIES, FUEL
AVAILIBILITY, WASTE, ETC. ORNL afterwards developed the MSR molten salt thorium
reactor which solved all of LWR’s failures. MSR is failsafe, efficient 96+%, cheaper than coal, modular and factory built,
500x fuel availability. Thorium has 1 million x energy density of fossil
fuels. Wigner, Weinberg, Teller and all who have known the MSR have advocated
its superior attributes. MSR had billions of dollars spent on it and a
prototype was operated for four years without incidence. However, Weinberg who
continually advocated MSR was eventually fired as director of ORNL as political
and vested interests just brushed him aside along with MSR
