When comparing DESERT-VISION power plants with Nuclear power plants, there are two main
categories, financial and safety.
Let's look at the financial side using a recent example:
•
Hinkley England power station
•
Capacity 3.3 GW
•
Current price approx. 66 billion USD
•
Dismantling costs of a nuclear power plant approx. 11 billion USD
•
In addition, the search for and construction of final storage facilities for highly radioactive
material - many additional billions of USD
•
Additional high operating and maintenance costs and much more
Risks:
•
the risks of nuclear power plants are so immense that the insurance companies limit the
amount of damage, the operators are liable for the rest with their entire operating assets, if this
is not sufficient, the general public is liable.
•
The Fukushima disaster has cost around USD 85 billion to date.
•
It has also caused great human suffering and enormous environmental damage.
In contrast, DESERT-VISION power plants cost
a fraction of nuclear power plants and
pose no risk whatsoever.
Since DESERT-VISION power plants have
an unlimited lifespan with appropriate
maintenance, there is no need to
dismantle them.
The advantages of DESERT-VISION power plants are many, but the disadvantages listed here are
already so serious that their construction is absolutely absurd!
Fukushima disaster
The realization that power plants using fuel obtained from outside natural cycles significantly
contribute to climate warming sheds new light on the use of individual types of power plants.
This particularly concerns the allegedly climate-neutral nuclear power plant technology.
In light of this insight, the operation of nuclear power plants, regardless of their type, is
self-evidently prohibited.
Orginal Vortrag / Original lecture
Thermal power plants, fueled by fossil
resources such as coal, lignite, petroleum and
natural gas, are prevalent.
These fuels have been stored in the Earth's
crust for millions of years.
When these fuels are burned, the previously
stored energy is released into the atmosphere,
contributing to its heating.
Thermal power plants that derive their energy
from nuclear fission or fusion also emit heat that
has not previously been present in our
atmosphere, thus contributing to atmospheric
warming in the same manner as fossil-fueled
power plants.
DESERT-VISION thermo-solar power plants are
indeed classified as thermal power plants, but
they derive their energy from solar power.
This heat energy is already present in the
atmosphere, so it does not contribute to
additional atmospheric warming.
Thermo-solar power plants are the only thermal
power plants that do not heat the atmosphere
through waste heat or CO
2
emissions.
