Dear Gordon Brown
You have come out in favour of more nuclear power stations in the UK, and various governments are to spend £6.6 billion on The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. Now, instead of Chernobyl exploding with the power of an Atom Bomb, we are to have power stations going off with the force of a Hydrogen Bomb. As well as being dangerous, nuclear generated electricity is four times more expensive than most alternatives, not taking into account the cost of safely storing dangerous levels of radioactive waste for thousands of years. And all at vast expense paid for by the poor oppressed tax payer.
What we need is low tech electricity generation which does not have career scientists lying to the electorate about safety and price issues.
The answer has been around for a long time. A Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator is a lined and capped well, filled with water, which is ten kilometers deep. Because the ground heats up at a constant rate the deeper one digs, the cap of the well is at three times boiling point, the precise temperature at which power stations generate electricity with their turbine generators. Any power station can easily be converted to Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators. The power they can generate is only limited by how wide the well is dug, and energy generation greater than nuclear power stations is easily possible.
I once muted the possibility that a sufficiently large Buxton Geothermal Power Station could power gigantic refrigeration units at both Poles so that the melting of the ice caps could be reversed and then maintained. Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators are cheaper and faster to build than nuclear power stations, generate more electricity and are far cleaner. And of course the electricity generated is cheap because there are no technically sophisticated and expensive parts, and no expensive waste to care for.
Only one Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator has been built, in the then West Germany, by Helmut Kohl, generating as much electricity as a nuclear power station. Because is was classified as an official secret in Germany no publicity is made of my invention, this in spite of the fact that UK politicians of the time went to see it.
Because electricity generated by Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators is so cheap, just a few in a country would force down the price of electricity, and this would have the effect of making the building of nuclear power stations economically unfeasible because their electricity is far more expensive.
All good leaders heed good advice, Gordon, and I ask you to ensure that Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators are built both in the European Union, and here in the UK.
