| 450725 | 2006-05-02 22:31:00 | I just want to retract some of my earlier statements: I have just done a bit of additional research (Wikipedia + www.clerk.parliament.govt.nz): - NZ currently has about 9000MW of power generation - NZ relies on natural gas for 21.5% of power generation - NZ only relies on coal for 7.1% of its power generation - NZ's electricity consumption is increasing at about 150MW per annum - The modern nuclear power plants produce between 600-1200MW of electricity each - Nuclear "waste" can be recycled, where 90-95% of reusable uranium can be recovered. This is currently done in the UK, Japan, and other nations. However I feel most of my previous statements still stand: One nuclear power station is sufficient to replace all the existing coal stations, and we would require a total of 3 to be able to fully replace all CO2 generating power stations in NZ. However, doing so would produce an electricity surplus of over 1GW. |

| 450727 | 2006-05-03 13:30:00 | I am all for nuclear power as long as its near the main users of the output . A nice little station around Auckland somewhere will give the city enough power taking the need away from building hugs pylons over the country . Yesterday going through the Nekar Valley in Germany I was looking over a forrested valley, and there in the bottom was a Nuclear power station, quietly steaming away making no noise and only water vapour . Seems like a good idea to me . |
