Thank you for inviting me here today to make this presentation about the future of our natural energy reserves. I know some of you will already be familiar with the complex nature of this subject and I hope you forgive me for trying to deal with it in only 45 minutes.
If we look back to twenty years ago I can recall how confident people were that nuclear energy provide the ultimate energy source and I don’t think that anyone at that time possibly imagine the impact that the accident at Chernobyl have on our confidence in that industry. While the nuclear industry still hold out some hope for a nuclear-powered future – this time in the form of nuclear fusion – it now looks like it be some time before the necessary technologies are in place for it to succeed. Indeed some skeptics even go as far as to say that never be the case! So from a world of confidence we now face the uncomfortable facts: fossil fuels are finite resources and while they be sufficient to carry our economies through the next few decades, there is no doubt that beyond that horizon new sources of energy have to be developed in order to sustain our current economic model.
Hi Tom,
Sorry I haven’t been in touch, but I had terrible problems with my computer last week. I was using that file-sharing
website you told me about when the screen suddenly
froze and then the whole thing just crashed. Luckily, I had remembered to back up my files, so I didn’t lose too much data but it took ages to install everything again.
I was really worried about my assignment, but fortunately I’d emailed a first draft to my tutor last week so he printed it out for me and I’ve just spent the afternoon typing it all up again. In a way, it was a good thing because I could see what was wrong with the first draft so I deleted a lot of it and I think it’s a much better piece of writing now. Let’s hope my tutor thinks so, too!
Anyway, let’s meet up soon.
Hope you’re well.
Andy
