		<description><![CDATA[The system is fundamentally broken and just can&#8217;t continue. To get continuous economic growth, we need to increase energy usage. Even if we improve efficiency, there would come the point where efficiency would hit it&#8217;s maximum possible and energy use would still go up. This discussion actually looks at the implication of this. What would [...]]]></description>

The most obvious cause of the disaster at Japan&#8217;s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station was the massive wall of tsunami water that swept the site clean of back-up electricity generation on 11 March, removing cooling capacity from reactor cores and resulting in [...]]]></description>

Obviously, initial concerns were with family and friends (one of whom lives up in Fukushima city). Obviously the general feeling of helplessness pervades our thinking here. I guess my role has been relegated to reviewing the data coming out [...]]]></description>

It just needs to be deployed in a smaller and more clever way, and only with newer safer designs. It needs to be part of a integrated wind/solar/tidal/geo-thermal/nuclear (in the right place) system.]]></description>

Successive UK governments have done a great (i.e, not very) job of ensuring that the energy distribution and storage system can handle &#8216;extreme&#8217; weather conditions. The powers that be, and the mainstream media don&#8217;t seem to be saying much about this, but based on the freely available public data, [...]]]></description>

For some reason, the 10:10 organisation seemed to thing this would be a good idea about marketing the 10:10 concept to try and cut Carbon Emissions (they are coming from a Climate Change perspective, rather than Peak Oil/Energy Security point of view). Me, I think this [...]]]></description>

One of the City&#8217;s most respected institutions has warned of &#8220;catastrophic consequences&#8221; for businesses that fail to prepare for a world of increasing oil scarcity and a lower carbon economy.
