“Electricity has transformed humanity like no other form of energy. Since the dawn of the Electric Age less than 140 years ago, electricity has changed how we live, commute, learn and eat. In doing so, it has fueled an unprecedented period of human flourishing. Never in human history have so many people lived in such wealth and prosperity and electricity continues to change and enrich our lives……We seldom think about the relationship between electric power and human empowerment.”
A Question of Power
Robert Bryce, 2020
WHAT IS “RASER” ELECTRICITY?
The network which facilitates the delivery of life sustaining electricity is the critical infrastructure system which powers computers, the internet, and enables all other modern networks and systems. Without the transformative power of electricity, modern society is simply not possible.
- Above all, electricity must be Safe and Reliable. Society cannot rely on electricity unless it is produced and delivered Safely. The value and utility of electricity is severely degraded without Reliability. Resiliency is one of the most important components of Reliability.
- It is imperative for electricity to be Affordable. If electricity is not Affordable, it is not usable. Naturally, electricity must be Abundant in order for it to be Affordable.
- In today’s modern society, electricity which exhibits all of these important attributes must also be produced in an Environmentally Responsible manner.
Oil & Gas Executives for Nuclear Energy has combined these important attributes into the acronym “RASER”to describe the most revered type of electricity. Nuclear energy creates the preeminent RASER electricity!
