Breakthrough Institute on Cheap Nuclear Power
Low cost, abundant, carbon free energy that can be quickly available is
the key to averting a climate disaster. Wind and solar energy are
unreliable and lack the capacity to be produced on demand. Energy
storage technology is expensive and may not be ready in the large
amounts required to overcome the flaws of wind and solar power. Clearly
then, massive amounts of carbon free energy may not be available within
the next 40 years, yet the power companies worry about nuclear costs.
The Breakthrough Institution has firmly joined the nuclear side of the energy debate and is paying attention to Generation IV reactor technology. In 2008 Nuclear Green did a case study of the cost lowering potential of Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) technology. I noted strategies for lowering nuclear cost. Breakthrough Institute has now performed a much more comprehensive study of nuclear energy cost lowering strategies.
