All clean energies, Nuclear included

Reliable & affordable clean electricity from small nuclear located in Ireland for prosperity and more sustainable use of land & materials - better for everyone

[All clean energies, Nuclear included @NuclearIreland]

Ireland is turning our excellent wind resource into a liability by pretending it can power our society

This prevents us adding real solutions like nuclear, leading to less industry, higher bills, fuel poverty and energy scarcity. While missing emissions targets

Choose nuclear.

I express my gratitude to my colleagues for their openness and support in bringing forward my bill to legalise the generation of nuclear power in Ireland. A step in the right direction. Fianna Fáil to support move to legalise nuclear energy via @RTENews https://t.co/BifWSNwgjl

@GreeneOctober @workersparty @18for0 Super article, Garrett.

Great insights on energy and nuclear, and plenty of food for thought on political reasoning.

[All clean energies, Nuclear included @NuclearIreland]

@JamesOConnorTD Well said

Remove the bans, have a good look at nuclear and then decide whether to proceed with it or not

Of course nuclear can't be delivered here by 2035 - no new clean energy solution can, realistically - but it very possibly could be here from 2040 or not long after.

@naturalsceptic @businessposthq The late 2030's would be the earliest for any reliable source of affordable clean energy, to be fair. Worth looking into with the help of those who've done this sort of work before, and then deciding on policy.

[Billy Kelleher MEP @BillyKelleherEU]

Ireland based its energy policy on ideology, hypocrisy, ignorance and incompetence over many years.

We are completely dependent on others for our energy needs.

We are against fracking but need LNG for security. We’re against Nuclear power but import it from UK and are now

A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered.

If anyone sees it, please send a DM.

RTs appreciated.

The Czech Republic has plans to build up to 3 GW of nuclear capacity from 470 MW Rolls Royce "SMRs", in addition to large reactors. Article link in reply.

According to Rolls Royce:

"Ninety percent of the SMR - measuring about 16 metres by 4 metres - will be built in factory conditions, limiting activity on-site primarily to assembly of pre-fabricated, pre-tested, modules which significantly reduces project risk and has the potential to drastically shorten build schedules."

My personal opinion is that, for nuclear to achieve acceptable costs and financial risks, there must be little to no on-site activities that are subject to nuclear-grade standards. Only dedicated nuclear component factories, with staff that is experienced in with those unique requirements, will be able to deal with them w/o large delays and cost increases.

@adrianweckler @NewsRuby We find there's a willingness to discuss nuclear in Ireland, based on the facts.

Ireland has addressed a number of significant social issues in the past 60 years, and we can address the nuclear question here also.

Is Nuclear the last great Irish taboo?

[All clean energies, Nuclear included @NuclearIreland]

@adrianweckler Excellent interview, Adrian

Perhaps surprisingly, Irish people are highly supportive of removing the nuclear bans and considering nuclear energy here, as Eamonn suggests. Whether to proceed to build nuclear here would be decided after those studies and also needs public support.

[All clean energies, Nuclear included @NuclearIreland]

@CogitoScio @SenatorKeogan This is changing fast. SMRs being built in Canada should be commercial in the West by 2030. See example at https://t.co/xxPUXhGJjI

Reliable and affordable clean energy, is much faster and simpler (but still not easy!) when nuclear is included

An option worth looking at.

[All clean energies, Nuclear included @NuclearIreland]

@banjaxtheballot @SenatorKeogan SMRs being built now in Canada and later in 4 other countries change that narrative. See example at https://t.co/3yylsv5X9U

We've high prices as the 100% Renewables Target forces more variable renewables than the Grid can handle, and needs very expensive gas backup and new Grid

[All clean energies, Nuclear included @NuclearIreland]

@tra0lach @SenatorKeogan True, although SMRs being built now should be commercially available in the West by 2030. See example at https://t.co/3yylsv5X9U

There's no fast or simple solution to reliable and affordable clean energy, but its much easier when nuclear is included

An option worth looking at.

[Senator Sharon Keogan @SenatorKeogan]

What are we at? Let's build 2 Small Modular Reactor #SMR if we are serious about dealing with energy costs. #nuclearenergy

[All clean energies, Nuclear included @NuclearIreland]

@flannelly_mike @SenatorKeogan That's often said, but it's not Constitutional

It's a sentence in a clause in the 1999 Electricity Regulation and 2024 Planning and Development Acts

It's worth taking @SenatorKeogan's suggestion seriously, and considering the benefit of a moderate amount of nuclear in Ireland

[18for0 @18for0]

Why is the UK planning to invest in SMRs?

1) SMR's will drive down household bills

2) Potential benefits for jobs and growth

3) Building just 12 SMRs could create up to 2,500 jobs

4) 12 SMRs would generate enough power for up to 1.5m homes

We're at Electric Picnic from Friday to Sunday - trying to assure affordable and reliable clean energy for Ireland

[Joe Smyth @JoeSmyth10]

Sweden building nuclear capacity of 1500mw via 5 SMRs because:
"...a growing share of weather-dependent renewables has led to price volatility, imbalances and a lack of available grid capacity."
This is exactly what Ireland now has and we have no plan to fix it.
