  • Interesting article over on Wired about Kirk Sorensen and the community served by his Energy From Thorium blog. To hear these people tell it, thorium fission in fluid fuel reactors offers an idyllic vision of a boundless-energy-from-the-atom type future no one has really believed in since the early 50s. Thorium, reportedly, is abundant, safe, highly efficient as a nuclear fuel, and produces waste that is radioactive only for a few hundred years instead of tens of thousands.

    "CarbonCulture is a new initiative started by More Associates for organisations that want to get really good at saving energy and carbon. Structured as a social enterprise, CarbonCulture exists to help all its members find the best 'moves' they can make to save energy and carbon. CarbonCulture will spread that knowledge amongst the membership so we can all get better at saving as quickly and as cheaply as possible. We've been working for some time with pioneers DECC and Defra to design strategies to achieve initial savings." http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/decc http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/dcms http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/cabinet-office http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/defra http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/fco http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/hmrc http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/hm-treasury

    If you're serious about cutting your electricity bills, fitting a wireless energy monitor should be top of your priority list. Although we all have electricity meters in our homes, they're no use hidden away in a cupboard only to be read once or twice a year. You need to get in touch with your electricity use and a wireless energy monitor will show you instantly how much electricity you're using twenty four hours a day.

    70% energy savings sound good. But how to claim 70% less maintenance costs. Less energy use means obviously less heat and more reliability. On the other hand, this is a much more complex system. It would be good to have an actual user stating this 70% reduction after installing the system and using it for a few years.

    Nice idea, but has it got performance potential? Rotary engine impressively compact and friction free. How much emission is generated by the compression of the air? Is it just passing the emissions on to a power station?

  • Financing and planning concerns also plague the project, with the level of state subsidies to the two main contracting firms - RTE (Réseau de transport électricité) and REE (Red Electrica de Espana) - still to be determined, and with questions remaining about the exact location of the future power cables.
  • Concerns include the potentially destructive impact of constructing electricity infrastructure in local communities and sensitive environments, and local civic organisations have mounted highly organised campaigns to contest the project, arguing that they have been given insufficient justification for the construction of the necessary power lines. 
  • if the interconnection is not completed, the Iberian Peninsula risks becoming an "island", cut off from the electricity potential and supply of the rest of the European continent.

    The connector between France and Spain is supposed to be the easy part.
