This is a very exciting and danagerous time for the environment. The activities of man, through business and growing food for the ever increasing population, are having a measurable effect on the planet. Finite resources are being used up quickly and the atmosphere is changing because of release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.

This is providing new economic motivations to persue alternatives for fuel and renewable energy resources. It is also driving research into improving existing technologies such as solar power, wind power and wave power as well as  driving us to reconsider nuclear energy.

Nuclear energy can produce large quantities of power and it can impact on the emission of carbon dioxide. Fission reactors produce large quantities of energy for the amount of fuel they use but the waste and safety are a concern.

Nuclear Fussion, the process which is most abundant energy producing process in the universe,  holds great promise for limitless quantities of clean energy. However, at present, there are still technical problems which need to be overcome before a commercially viable power station is up and running.

This blog aims to look at all aspects of producing power in an environmentally sensitive way.
