About two thirds of net global annual power capacity additions are solar and wind. Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) comprises about 96% of global storage power capacity and 99% of global storage energy volume. Batteries occupy most of the balance of the electricity storage market including utility, home and electric vehicle …
Capturing the energy. More than 99% of the Universe exists as plasma, including interstellar matter, stars and the Sun. Examples of plasmas on Earth are: neon tubes, lightning, the northern lights (aurora borealis), and the glow of plasma televisions. The helium nucleus carries an electric charge that is subject to the magnetic fields of the ...
Energy storage is the capturing and holding of energy in reserve for later use. Energy storage solutions for electricity generation include pumped-hydro storage, batteries, flywheels, compressed-air energy storage, hydrogen storage and thermal energy storage components.

Burnup is a measure of how much energy is obtained from the fission of uranium, or fuel, in the reactor. Burnup is measured in gigawatt-days per metric ton of uranium (GWd/MTU). Spent fuel is considered high burnup at a value greater than 45 GWd/MTU. For more information, see the Backgrounder on High Burnup Spent Fuel.

During the 1950s, 60s and 70s, nuclear energy was embraced as the future of energy. Then an accident at Three Mile Island in the US in 1979 and a fully fledged disaster at Chernobyl in 1986, just about ended new builds. That remained the case until the early 2000s when the oil price began its rise from $20 to $140.
