Oil & Gas Executive into Nuclear [S2E12]

2024-01-1048:45

We had a great time with Mr. Douglas Sandridge, an Oil & Gas Executive in the USA. His message came out strongly that everyone needs reliable energy therefore let us diversify the energy mix and not try to over-regulate it. Listen in the podcast to hear his thought on energy; nuclear energy; hydrogen, as well as climate change issues. He recommends two books for anyone wishing to bring in a great energy renaissance: The Price by David Yergin and Shorting the Grid by Meredith Angwin. Mr. Douglas Sandridge has supported this podcast by getting me some equipment over christmas! A good chrismas gift for all of us. It is good to support us in all ways because we have the social license to reach out through public engagement, educating our communities and through podcast interviews.

Are there any present opportunities in the nuclear power industry? In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of "Opportunities In Nuclear". Nuclear power has been at the forefront of solving global issues for decades, and it continues to be an essential part of our energy mix. From powering our homes and businesses to moving us forward in space exploration, nuclear powers not only the past and present, but also the future. One exciting aspect of nuclear power is the opportunity it provides in the advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning. With the help of advanced technology, we are able to further improve the safety measures of nuclear power plants and Spent Fuel Management (SFM). To learn more about the endless opportunities that nuclear presents, tune in to this podcast now!

The Business Case for Nuclear Power [SIE7]

2023-04-2901:18:32

The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) will be buying 7.13 KES ($0.05704) per KWh [or less] from NuPEA for the SMR-160 with an estimated capacity factor of 80% for 40 years if the capital cost is 260 Billion KES ($2 Billion) and discounted to 320 Billion KES. If Kenya is truly using cheap electricity today, then it means nuclear power is way cheaper by 88% as compared to an IPP in Kenya; Triumph Power Generation Company Ltd selling 69 GWh to KPLC. The cost (6.26 KES/KWh) will also be at a 12.2% difference of the solar project in Garissa giving 82 GWh to the national grid. Nuclear Energy is good for business.
