DISRUPTIVE DISCUSSION

Nuclear energy: Enjoying a renaissance

There is (almost) global political consensus that nuclear presents a scalable, non-intermittent and zero-carbon solution – is Africa in agreement?
Over 30 countries are now working with the International Atomic Energy Agency to explore introducing or expanding nuclear power capacity, and forecast nuclear-generation capacity to double by 2050 – what percentage of this will come from Africa?
Rapid advances in technology are opening a space economy with the commercialisation of space travel, the development of space stations powered by Pebble Bed Modular Nuclear Reactors, and the development of new propulsion technology based on nuclear to power spaceships on intergalactic travel into deep space.
The total market capitalisation of global stocks is US$44 billion, as opposed to US$150 billion just before Fukushima in 2007. With new uranium investment funds are emerging, this all augurs well for the yellow mineral.
