☀️ Not just renewables
Autumn has arrived in Sweden in recent days. Rainy and gloomy weather made us cozy up on the sofa with a cup of tea yesterday.
It also means that electricity consumption goes up and I hardly dare look in the Tibber app, the electricity price has really skyrocketed. It's not Tibber's fault, this is the situation on the market right now.
The need for electricity will increase when we electrify transport.
At Warp News, we are strong advocates of renewable energy in the form of, above all, sun but also wind. We have also put forward ideas for large battery parks that can keep the price of electricity down and stabilize the grid.
But that is not all.
We also think fourth-generation nuclear power is very exciting. A generation that solves the problems associated with today's and yesterday's nuclear power. Magnus Aschan has written a very interesting article about it. You will find it below.
