Digital advocacy for energy density. Category Archives: Why HTGR? Energy vs. Electricity and why we care. February 25, 2013. We’ve noticed that many people talk a great deal about energy, but really are talking about electricity generation. Electricity is a form of energy, but it is only one part of the total picture. The figure below comes from Lawrence Livermore National Labs and presents a more holistic picture of energy. If we moved our electricity production to 100% carbon free sources, like nuclear...

What you can do. Things Worse Than Nuclear Power. Environmentalist comparison of energy sources and risks - the take from you, edited by a couple MIT engineers. Q1: Would I get a lot of radiation if I lived around a nuclear power plant? We are surrounded by naturally occurring radiation. Americans get 100 times more radiation dose from coal plants. 200 times more from a cross-country flight, and about the same amount of exposure from eating just 1 banana a year. Q4: How safe is nuclear power? Nuclear ene...
