These amazing facts really shouldn’t amaze us because we often see efficiency gains when we transition from one technology to another. Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) use about 70 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, the oldest technology. Powering electric cars requires both the generation and distribution of electric energy.

That is why we are fully committing to nuclear power in the UK, backing a new generation of small modular reactors.” If I was hoping to bring down energy bills, then nuclear isn’t the first place I’d look. The cost of Hinkley Point C, Britain’s first new nuclear power plant in decades, was originally priced at £16 billion.

Those findings might surprise physicists, who will be aware that the energy density of nuclear fission is so high that just a fingertip of uranium has an energy equivalent of 5000 barrels of oil. Nuclear needs an image makeover so that it is viewed on a par with other energy sources that are widely considered clean and sustainable.
