Reflexion on thorium reactors by Kai Neumann

this is just a first scetch of a cause and effect model ... if you look at the matrix of the factor thorium reactor you will recognize that this model is dominated by balancing feedback loops (...) you may contact me (kai@ilsa.de) to get a copy of the model or even to collaboratively model it with me and others in any way: many insights and happy modeling Kai

Energiewende 3 by Kai Neumann

Ein kleines Modell zur Reflektion der Optionen einer zukünftigen Energieversorgung. Das Modell zeigt die wesentlichen Argumentationsstränge. Es können gern weitere Argumente eingebaut oder die Gewichtungen der Zusammenhänge variiert werden. Leicht lässt sich dieses Modell also weiter differenzieren und sogar die einzelnen regenerativen Energieträger oder auch explizit die Option von Thorium-Reaktoren können im Detail betrachtet werden. Vielleicht ist es aber überraschend, dass es keine perfekte Energieve...

This is just a fictious case of an enterprise to show how it can be comprehensively modeled. Not only the weightings should differ from case to case but also more concrete factors should be added, e.g the concrete competitors, the features of the products and their impact onto the customer's feeling of integration and development, the potential market expansion etc.. For a possible quantification and a BSC it should be checked whether all measures and decisions impact measurable factors. Also a lot soft ...

As my mental models on these que...
