How Hydrogen Convergence will obsolete Nuclear Power
There has been a lot buzz surrounding President Barack Obama’s decision to fund new nuclear power plants. Many in the environmental community have become very disheartened at this news. We at the ebTDesign Forum would advise our readers and twitter followers that these new nuclear plants will never be completed because of massively-distributed power generation.
Just before the start of the dotcom era there was a movement to large supercomputers. However with the introduction of massively-parallel grid computing enabled by the Internet, the supercomputer became obsolete overnight. Similarly, a hydrogen convergence “feedback loop” will enable the deployment of massively-distributed power generation. This will obsolete the nuclear power industry, overnight.
The decision to fund nuclear power is a classic example of why supply-side economics doesn’t work any more. From a P2P Economy viewpoint this doesn’t make any sense. Working and middle class Americans are not going to want to raise their children next nuclear waste dumps. The flexibility of massively-distributed power generation and the incremental cost advantage will make investments in nuclear power for other than military purposes nonsensical.
Post-Globalization, we live in an era of more direct democracy. Once working and middle class Americans are presented with a P2P Economy sensitive solution based on hydrogen convergence, there will be numerous ballet initiatives that will outlaw the storage of new nuclear waste and the building of nuclear power plants. Overnight, the nuclear power era will finally come to an end.
