Is Nuclear Power An Option ?
Over half the generated electricity in the world goes towards powering micropocessor devices. At Riello UPS we work hard to develop the cleanest (low harmonics) and most efficient UPS available. This is the type of contribution that we as power protection equipment manufacturers can make towards the World’s emergent energy problems.
Nuclear power plants provide about 17 percent of the world’s electricity. Some countries depend more on nuclear power for electricity than others. In France, for instance, about 75 percent of the electricity is generated from nuclear power, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. This recent article from the Green Party argues against one of the possible energy generation solutions: “NUCLEAR power is expensive, dangerous - and won’t solve the problem of reducing greenhouse gas emissions enough to meet the UK’s obligations, the Green Party has warned. In a detailed submission to the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee, the Greens argue we need ‘a major culture change’ in the way we produce and consume energy rather than new nuclear power stations”.
