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
