Rekan-Rekan FPK, Terima kasih atas komiknya. Inilah ulasannya.
Mungkin lain kali sebaiknya tanya dulu dengan Dekan Fakultas Sastra Inggris dulu kalau memang ada istilah-istilah yang tidak dimengerti sehingga tidak dianggap pakai kacamata kuda. Komik yang disebut di bawah ternyata didasarkan pada komik lainnya (kutipan di bawah tidak menyertakan link tersebut, jadi silakan klik link di bawah dulu). Komik acuan tersebut adalah: http://www.altassets.com/casefor/sectors/2008/nz12946.php Kutipannya adalah sbb: In fact, the average upfront capital cost for a new 1-gigawatt (GW) nuclear plant often lauded as one of the cheapest sources of energy is between $2 billion and $6 billion. Compare that to the cost of 1 GW of geothermal and wind power at less than $2 billion and 1 GW of solar at between $5 billion and $10 billion. Not to mention the fact that it can take years to bring a new nuclear power plant online (the U.S. hasn't had a new nuke plant in more than two decades). Admittedly, these aren't apple-to-apple comparisons. Whereas coal, nuclear, natural gas, and geothermal plants are able to provide BASELOAD POWER, solar and wind are INTERMITTENT RESOURCES. In order to compete head-to-head with conventional sources, solar and wind have to be paired with baseload power sources, or require the implementation of energy storage/smart-grid capabilities. But clearly, the pendulum is shifting in favor of a range of renewables. Europe provides a great example of this transition. Since the beginning of the decade the EU has added 47,000 MW of new wind energy compared to just 9,600 MW of coal and only 1,200 MW of nuclear, according to Platts Power Vision and the European Wind Energy Association. Perhaps even more telling, 2007 saw net capacity additions of 8,505 megawatts of wind, whereas both coal and nuclear saw net capacity reductions of 750 megawatts and 1,023 megawatts, respectively. Saran saya sebaiknya adakan rapat terbatas dengan Dekan FTUI dan Dekan Fakultas Sastra Inggris untuk mengetahui apa itu BASELOAD POWER dan INTERMITTENT RESOURCES. Kalau mau lihat uraian saya, bisa dilihat di: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Forum-Pembaca-Kompas/message/81941 Bagi yang memang tidak punya latar belakang teknik, saya buat analoginya seperti ini: BASELOAD POWER = KUKU BIMA (jadul), MACCA (jaman sekarang) INTERMITTENT RESOURCES = PELTU (nempel metu) Jadi kutipan di bawah memang menimbulkan GAIRAH, tapi ujung-ujungnya bernasib PELTU. Sedangkan KUKU BIMA, SAMPE PUASSSSSSS. Masih belum percaya? Silakan tanya istri masing-masing. Tapi jangan pakai lilin ya :) Best Regards, Rudyanto Dekan Fakultas Seksomologi Universitas Mimpi --- In [email protected], manneke budiman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Mungkin komiknya perlu dipinjemin Mas Rudy Nebeng, soalnya dia masy haqul yakin bahwa dari semua sumber energi yang ada, nuklirlah yang bisa menghasilkan tenaga terbesar. > > manneke > > Haniwar Syarif <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > lagi iseng baca komik sesuai saran mas UNO, saya ketemu data ini : > > http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2008/3/26/151548/771 > > Europe provides a great example of this transition.
