He's an expert in the nuclear industry.
He's an expert in automotive engineering.
He's an expert in economy and finance.

Is there anything he doesn't know? :p


(Tongue in cheek thread. Take it as you wish.)

I don't know everything about everything, but I know something about most things.

I no expert on the nuclear industry, but I know enough to say that we have not poured any concrete and are building too slow (or in Fox's case an opinion based upon nothing but the empty air found in his head)

Having an opinion on things, based upon at least some level of understanding is better than having no opinion what so ever.
 
Depends on the size and shape of the beans

Until you find out the specifics of the beans, have a random picture of a box in a windtunnel

I work in the nuclear industry. I'm not directly involved in new build, but I have done projects for it, and will do in the future. I can assure you, nothing is going too slow. :)
 
Jack of all trades, master of none.

Can talk about anything just enough to almost convince others that they actually know what they are talking about.
 
Hold on isn't Rypt the guy whose had 10 women in the last week and three on one day?

Where's that voting option?

Depends how you view "too slow".

I see oil prices increasing and battery electric cars gaining popularity.
I see stupid global targets on reducing CO2 meaning that building/using coal powerstations will become harder/more expensive.

I see China building 28 new nuclear reactors, which in total have 3x their current nuclear capacity.

I see our grid being already almost at the limit (weren't blackouts being predicted by 2012-2015?)


Now tell me, if by 2020 50% of the cars on the road are battery electric - will the current grid (minus any stations that are being closed) + the new nuclear builds be able to handle it? (hell, will the new powerstations even be operational by 2020?)
What about 75% of cars battery electric by 2020?

I do not think we are building enough in volume, and I think we are late to the game as it is (aren't some of the component suppliers booked with orders from China & India for the next 10 years?).


I WANT to see us be in a position to be 80% nuclear by 2015-2020 (not happening as we are building too few and too late).

I want us to have a grid that can handle the volume it needs, plus allow us to experiment with new technologies and ideas that require plentiful energy

I want us to be actually leading research into next generation reactors (and building test reactors)
