Sarah Cullen discusses why we should consider Nuclear Power as part of our Energy Supply mix

Our guest this week is Sarah Cullen, who is an Expert in Energy Systems.

Sarah discusses the components that supply the Electric Power Grid and their various strengths and weaknesses.

In Ireland, we have a very high reliance on Wind Energy (which is generally a good thing) but it also needs to be backed up with, currently, fossil fuel generated electricity.  This adds to our Carbon emissions.

Sarah asks why we are not, at least considering, Nuclear as an option for our electricity supply, not the least because, the total life cycle Carbon emissions are extremely low.

Consideration by Governmental bodies of Nuclear generated Electricity is prohibited by law in Ireland, which seems daft to me.

Sarah asks some reasonable  and fair questions and wants to open the debate up about the best way forward considering that Electricity demand will grow in line with the increasing use of electricity in transport and new industries such as Data Centres.

Sarah is a great guest and plays out with an appropriate choice of song.
