- The country’s aggressive carbon emissions goals call for the U.K.’s power supply to be virtually carbon-free by 2030.
- Briony Worthington is mentioned. She is in favor of LFTR technology that Kirk Sorensen is developing.
- U.K. voters. Nearly three-quarters of its citizens are worried about climate change
- targets would slash greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050 from 1990 levels.
- such ambitious targets are well beyond what renewable energy alone can deliver
The obvious answer should be nuclear energy, but there is a great reluctance to go this route. The molten-salt reactor would be a good start forward. Worthington is doing her part, but is anyone over there listening?
Now, the Brits have this man who wants to make a SSTO. If this were to be built, or something like it, there may be a possibility with space solar. Kirk Sorensen doesn't believe in it, though. I tend to follow what he says, but I may make an exception in this case.
Develop the ideas for a moonbase and asteroid capture system that would enable in orbit refueling which in turn can be used to construct huge solar arrays in space that can beam energy back to Earth. Something to think about. Or to do something about.
