Why this blog?

The development of our civilization, as well as the trend to cut emissions, leads to an electrification of our societies. That -in itself- is a good thing, but unfortunately the political debate around energy/electricity generation by conventional or renewable means is conducted in a very emotional manner.

Although I am all for alternative methods of generating electricity, the methods in question need to be able to supply electricity in sufficient amounts, and reliably. I feel that especially the emotional debate around some renewable energy methods forgets these two absolutely necessary conditions.

Therefore, in this blog, I will try to assess some energy generations methods to find out whether they -even when taken to the Extreme- will be able to provide enough electricity for our needs.
