On 15 May 25, our association organised a festive banquet at the very moment when parliament voted by a 2/3 majority to relaunch nuclear power in Belgium: 104 votes in favour, 8 against and 31 abstentions.Many of the academic, industrial and political figures who worked for this historic moment were…
The 100TWh association is opposed to extreme visions, such as the total elimination of something (net zero) or 100% of something else (100% renewable). These are utopias that are harmful to society. Decarbonisation, i.e. the gradual reduction in our dependence on fossil fuels, is desirable for a number of reasons.…
<NL versie onderaan> L’électricité représente aujourd’hui moins de 20 % du total des trois sources d’énergies primaires (c.-à-d. fossiles, nucléaire et renouvelables) consommé dans l’Union Européenne (UE), en particulier en Belgique. Dans le contexte de l’objectif de neutralité carbone à atteindre à l’horizon 2050, cette part devrait fortement croître dans…
<NL versie onderaan> De nombreux citoyens, dont ceux de 100TWh, réagissent et contestent les déclarations de Vincent Verbeke, CEO d’Engie, dans le Trends du 14 février dernier. NON, les renouvelables n’offrent pas une énergie abordable et fiable aux clients belges. Par contre, elles permettent opportunément au groupe gazier français de…
Follow-up 14/03/25 – 2 companies want to operate the elgian nuclear reactors Luminus declares to be ready to take over the whole Belgian nuclear park (https://www.tijd.be/ondernemen/milieu-energie/luminus-ceo-wij-willen-praten-over-bouw-nieuwe-kerncentrales-in-belgie/10597861.html) On the same day, Engie declares the same (https://www.lecho.be/economie-politique/belgique/federal/engie-ne-ferme-plus-la-porte-a-davantage-de-nucleaire/10598098) For us, it means our priority is not to buy Tihange 1 anymore, but to…
<watch the recorded conference> 100TWh, in association with the Energy Transition platform of the FABI, the Federation of the Belgian french-speaking Engineers, has invited a panel of key persons to present its proposal to create a coopérative on the finnish Mankala model to takeover the participation of Engie in the…
100TWh apprecieert dat Houtekiet Georges Van Goethem, bestuurder van onze vereniging 100TWh, de kans heeft gegeven om een prachtig overzicht van kernenergie op wetenschappelijk, economisch en maatschappelijk vlak te publiceren. Maar de rest van het boek is teleurstellend. Ten eerste verbaast het ons dat een boek over kernenergie voorrang geeft…
The citizen movement 100TWh ASBL-VZW would like to remind you that citizens have clearly expressed their opposition to dogmatic green policies. While they support measures to reduce CO2 emissions, they do not want these to destroy the well-being of our society as a whole. For 100TWh, this means that nuclear…
Here are some synthese topics on nuclear issues : 01 Economics of nuclear power – 02 Carbon footprints of energy systems – 03 Arguments against nuclear power – 04 Nuclear electricity worldwide and in Belgium – 05 Promise of thermonuclear fusion – 06 Safety of nuclear reactors – 07 safety…
Claiming that Belgium could still increase its percentage of renewable electricity because other countries are doing so is a lie.The example of Costa Rica, where 99.2% of electricity production is of renewable origin, is often cited.But the reality is less glorious. <100% renewable is a myth>
