The field of dreams comes to mind when it comes to power generation in this country.

As the need for energy in our homes increases, and with the planned closure of Pickering's Nuclear Generating Station, home #builders are looking to greener solutions. Augmenting the electrical grid, and in some cases avoiding it altogether, will become an increasingly attractive option for residential developers: https://lnkd.in/g5P7SVnx #geothermal #geothermalenergy #ontario #ontariorealestate #homebuilder #cleanenergy #greenenergy

"Across the country, clean energy projects of all types are tied up in lengthy permitting processes. For offshore wind, it can take up to 10 years to secure approval before construction can begin. Elsewhere, many nuclear power companies are seeking to develop a new generation of smaller, safer reactors, but outdated regulations could make approval difficult, experts warn. Some solar developers are wary of building on federally owned land in the West because permitting can be so onerous." #energy #electricity #energytransition #energypolicy #infrastructure #transmission #distribution #resiliency #energysecurity https://lnkd.in/ghmY7Jsi

The U.S. Department of Energy intends to repurpose parts of DOE-owned land for utility-scale clean energy generation projects. Under the “Cleanup to Clean Energy” initiative, the Department will work with industry, Federal entities, tribes, state and local officials to lease out certain sites – portions of which were previously used in the nation’s nuclear weapons program. Renewable energy is just one of the many industries that Anexis Live supports, we are keen to help grow and maintain a safer sustainable future, reach out to the team and see where we can work together for a safer cleaner future. https://lnkd.in/e84MXiCX #cleanenergy #energy #renewable #solutions #projects #future #Sustainable #cleaner #industry #brand #portfolio #Anexislive #bespoke #events #solutions #support

Regulators gave the go-ahead for a multistate wind-energy power line to provide the equivalent of four nuclear power plant’s worth of energy to Missouri consumers. At issue is the Grain Belt Express, a power line that will carry wind energy from Kansas across Missouri and Illinois before hooking into a power grid in Indiana that serves eastern states. Invenergy LLC, the Chicago-based company attempting to build the Grain Belt Express, last year proposed expanding the high-voltage power line’s capacity after years of complaints from Missouri farmers and lawmakers worried that the line would trample property rights without providing much service to Missouri residents.

You lump all your talk as Nuclear (meaning only Fission) and fail to talk about fusion. You are, as the nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising and innovative method of producing sustainable and clean energy. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage is increasingly real, as linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Exciting development from Sizewell C within the Hydrogen East Cluster and another example of why the hydrogen economy and development will be so important to the UK #opergy #hydrogenbus #hydrogeneastcluster #hydrogeneconomy

Backwards thinking Malcolm Bambling, if humankind were to follow unquestioningly the reasoning of Prof. Bent Flyvbjerg, then neither the Suez Canal nor the Sydney Opera House should have been built. Or an ugly square box should have been plonked on Bennelong Point instead of Jørn Utzon’s glorious masterpiece gracing that site… Much of what is mistakenly diagnosed as “project cost overruns” is actually project cost under-estimates. This is done for tactical reasons by people operating within a system using the wrong decision-making tools for large, long-life assets. This behaviour goes on in both the public and private sectors. It either drives short-term decision-making, or ex-post diagnosis of “project cost over-runs.” #infrastructure #energy #nuclear #public #asset #megaprojects #cost #overrun #risk
