World's uranium supplies to run out In 250 years

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 04/01/2013 - 10:41pm

At the current rate of usage the worlds uranium supplies will run out in 250 years, nuclear power does seem to have a very short life, is it right for the world to utilize all of the worlds uranium supplies.

Alot more needs to be done to establish renewable energy infrastructure . . . Will require conscription or marshall law for decades. . .

Renewable energy infrastructure involves . . .

Biofuel
Biomass
Geothermal
Hydroelectricity
Solar energy
Tidal power
Wave power
Wind power

Eventually Australia will have a homegrown diversified continental based robotics industry but in the mean time we may have to export electricity to Asia via cable, this is a far more efficient option than transporting fossil fuels to our northern neighbours.

We have approx 200 years to realise a 80% to 100% renewables target, depends what happens in the following decades.

We should be hoping to have reached a 80% renewable energy target by at least 100 years from now.

If we can not meet this renewable energy target, then we may as well all become indigenous again & work with permaculture & utilise the horse & cart, in other words bye bye industrial revolution & hello to rural serfdom.

We must reach renewables target before we invest in thorium, their is a such thing as logical progression as opposed to jumping the gun.

Tidal power has the greatest energy density when compared to solar & wind

More than enough wind energy to power our world, coal power is so last century
