...our experience shows that this advanced network [FTTH] can be accomplished for about $2,000 per home connected. ...
Passare in fibra una abitazione costa circa 2000 dollari (1264 Euro)
TVA’s forecast of $2,000 to $4,000 per kilowatt for new nuclear generation capacity. In fact, to be abundantly conservative, let’s assume (and this is a very far reaching assumption for any TVA project) that they can build new capacity for $2,000 per kilowatt. That would mean that they are willing to pay the same thing per kilowatt of new capacity as we know it would cost to establish FTTH broadband to a home
Una centrale nucleare costa secondo loro tra 2000 e 4000 dollari per kilowatt
If TVA had an unlimited capacity data connection to every home, they could use that connection to control thermostats on heating, air conditioning, water heating, freezers, refrigerators, washing machines, clothes dryers, dishwashers, etc. That sort of control would easily allow them to shave one, probably two, likely even three to four kilowatts of demand off of their peak demand.
Banda always on alle case consentirebbe di controllare termostati di riscaldamento ed aria zondizionata, riscaldamento dell'acqua, congelatori, frigoriferi, asciugatori, lavatrici, lavastoviglie, consentendo facilmente di risparmiare certamente uno, probabilmente due e magari anche tre-quattro kilowatt di richiesta di energia nei momenti di picco.
So, spending that money on broadband networks for every home and business in the Tennessee Valley region would likely double or triple the capacity improvement they are looking to get through building new nuclear plants!
Quindi investire in reti broadband potrebbe raddoppiare o triplicare gli aumenti di capacità pianificati costruendo centrali nucleari .
Non mi intendo di energia, però l'argomento che ha scovato Benoit sarebbe interessante da approfondire con qualche esperto italiano.
