Dean Bubley's Disruptive Environment

Thursday, May 24, 2007

At last Blair manages to do something right....

After ten years, and on his way out, the UK Prime Minister has finally made a good decision . Although Gordon Brown also seems to be on-side, I see a distinct risk that we'll be in the strange situation of having opposition on this issue from the supposedly pro-business, pro-development Conservative party with David Cameron at the helm.

Frankly, I think the energy policy doesn't go far enough. I think there needs to be a huge set of incentives to encourage a new generation of students to study nuclear physics & engineering. There needs to be encouragement for companies to invest in developing new nuclear power station and distribution technologies.

And lastly - there needs to be a global/international process for fast-tracking the development time for nuclear fusion. Give someone like Bill Gates a reason to invest billions, and see if we can knock 10 years off the time-to-market.
