To generate awareness of todays global energy challenges and to
advance a workable and sustainable plan that would solve the
universally growing needsClick to advance. . .

What is the Lightfoot Institute?A non-profit research &
educational organization with a compelling message of hope for the
future
-
Mission & philosophyPeople are as much a part of nature as
every other living thing
Every living thing depends on energy without it everything
dies
People & the environment depend upon each other
-
Mission & philosophyAll sources of energy must be reliable
& robust, especially our electricity grid
Energy is necessary to adapt to warming or cooling of
climate
Renewable energy is important, but much too small to replace the
concentrated & stored solar energy of coal & oil
-
Are you aware that. . .?Fossil fuels are a giant bank account of
stored solar energy. . . renewable energy is like living paycheck
to paycheck. . .
-
Basis of our messageSolid information about energy supply past,
present & future
Award winning & acclaimed DVD, Nobodys Fuel
Publicly presented to thousands of people worldwide
Its all science no magic here
-
Are you aware that. . .?Energy efficiencyis capable of
increasing consumption. . .
-
"Mr. Lightfoot's DVD 'Nobody's Fuel' presents more up-to-date,
accurate information about energy than any source I have
encountered. I encourage anyone interested in our nation's economic
future, and anyone concerned about global warming to obtain a copy
of the DVD 'Nobody's Fuel', and consider seriously the facts it
presents, and what our energy policies should be." ~ Mike
McCormack, Member of Congress (Retired); Chairman of the House
Subcommittee on Energy Research and Production from 1973 through
1980

Dispelling MythsToday there are 438 nuclear plants in 29
countries & 57 under construction in 14
France gets more than 85% of its electricity from nuclear power
& has the cleanest air in Europe
Many countries find nuclear a viable alternative to fossil fuels
to meet electricity demand
-
One Kilogram of uranium is baseball-size & contains the
power of 2.3 million litres of gasoline. . .Are you aware that. .

New reactor designMost of today's nuclear reactors are thermal
reactors and use only 0.7% of the uranium
The remaining 99+% contains a small amount of waste which is of
concern for thousands of years
An alternative design, known as fast reactors, uses virtually
all of the uranium
-
Fast Breeder reactorsAre 100 times more fuel efficient than
thermal reactors
Radioactive materials remaining from fast reactors are of
concern for less than 500 years, rather than thousands of years
Therefore, waste from fast breeder reactors is more easily
managed
-
A use for nuclear wasteRecycled uranium from nuclear waste is
excellent fuel for fast breeder reactors
Safety of thermal reactors is proven. Small differences favour
fast breeder reactors
Use of both types of reactors can grow because safety is under
control
-
Are you aware that. . .?A severe energy shortage is possible
within your lifetime. . .
-
Our plan for abundant energyProvides effective protection of the
environment
Maintains the well-being of everyone on earth
Lets us adapt to climate change
Supports 3 times current world energy use by 2100 to lift poor
nations out of poverty
