Global warming hits home
Gainesville Sun – Apr 5, 2008
Proponents say conservation and renewable energy alone can’t meet growing energy demands and nuclear power could produce large amounts of electricity without the greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. “The need is not going away. It just keeps growing” said Alireza Haghighat chairman of UF’s nuclear and radiological engineering department. As former Vice President Al Gore embarks on a three-year campaign to convince the public about climate change some Florida residents aren’t waiting around for the results. From UF researchers to utility officials they’re working to study the effects of a warming planet and determine how to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases… The climate change panel concluded that sea level rise would continue for centuries even if greenhouse gas concentrations were stabilized. But the group’s report said the level of rise will vary greatly depending on emissions from power plants and other sources. Progress is proposing the new nuclear plant as a way of meeting the energy needs of an expanding customer base without boosting greenhouse emissions. The utility in May will begin its permitting process with the Florida Public Service Commission before starting a federal permitting process that could take years longer. GRU will likely wait until the fall before deciding whether to buy into a small portion of the project said Ed Regan the utility’s chief strategic planner. He said the construction costs of the plant would be a downside but the upside would be the lack of carbon emissions and stability for fuel costs once the plant is built. Progress had initially estimated costs of the 2200-megawatt plant at about $7 billion but recently revised the figure to $17 billion.
