More Nuclear power on the horizon :coold:

So are any of these going to be Pebble Bed Reactors?

Dont know, there's 30 on the books but the details wont be worked out until local and federal officials (including the EPA) are being talked with.

As long as there isn't one in my backyard, go ahead.

I'd rather have a nuclear plant in my backyard than a coal fired or oil burning power plant.

graph demonstrates increases in decline rates for newer gas wells.. the rate you need to drill is rising to stand still in terms of production

source 1 EIA

source 2

in 1989 262,483 wells produced 21,074,425 MMcf of gas

in 2004 405,048 wells produced 24,055,432 MMcf of gas

a 14% increase in production was achieved with a 54% increase in effort.

this effect is known as the treadmill.. increasing effort for diminishing returns.. US NG is peaking out.. note this does not effect the reserve numbers nor are the reserves a measure of production capacity

what is the projected building schedule for these 30 reactors?
