  Nuclear Economics: they just don't work out

  The nuclear power cycle is definitely not "clean"  with mining, storage, disposal, radiation pollution, and the massive amounts of water that are evaporated  or heated, but the most powerful arguement I've heard against nuclear power is its economics.  I find it interesting that you didn't even mention the economics of nuclear in the article.  
  Nuclear power is more expensive than even solar per kWh and takes years to deploy, so it is definitely not a good solution to climate change.  We need to make investments RIGHT NOW in clean, renewable energy technologies that give us the most bang for our buck such as energy efficiency, solar thermal, wind, geothermal, and even solar photovoltaic to mitigate climate change.  It is also important to point out that these investments have little risk (very little risk compared to nuclear energy projects, which only seem attract investment when they are proped up by tax payer insurance and other subsidies) and will ensure much more consistent energy prices in the future because the sources of energy are free and abundant.On Is the world ready to waltz with nuclear again? posted 3 years, 11 months ago 10 Responses
