So, there's quite a big keep-out zone, and when you factor the keep-out zone into account, the solar panels put on that area would typically generate more power than that nuclear power plant.
If France can produce 80 percent of its electricity with nuclear power, why can't we?
All the rest of the world uses the word electricity. They've borrowed the word from English. But we Chinese have our own word for it!
It is my mission to change the world. I'm not kidding: Make no small plans, dream mighty things. I feel if we get enough people engaged in climate change, we will get enough people to change the world. We will revolutionize the way we produce electricity and provide clean water to people.
There are no oil rigs in the Durham region of Ontario and the only energy that our area is known for is the electricity generated from nuclear power.
I don't know how electricity works. All I know is that it calms me.
In the 1960s, I personally lived the resounding impact of President Nasser's vision of constructing Aswan's High Dam as a 'national project' for controlling the Nile irrigation and the production of electricity.
The price to generate a megawatt or a gigawatt of energy is coming down year after year. We're learning how to print it, make it more efficient.
Turbines are a curiosity, but only once.
If low-temperature fusion does exist and can be perfected, power generation could be decentralized. Each home could heat itself and produce its own electricity, probably using a form of water as fuel. Even automobiles might be cold-fusion powered.
Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.
