Do we need more Nuclear project world wide to lessen the use of fossil fuels? or are the negatives of Nuclear to strong for it to be a solution for the energy crisis?

President Nicolas Sarkozy is pushing to set up more financial backing for Nuclear development after a Paris conference " hosted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development."

Sarkozy hopes to set up institutes that will boost the international development of Nuclear power for energy. While also urging a number of world banks to help finance nuclear projects for developing countries.

""I have decided to shift up a gear by creating an International Institute of Nuclear Energy that will include an international nuclear school,"

The article points out some criticism into the plans, which accuse the French Governments move as being connected to French Nuclear contractors losing out on new deals.

"Analysts believe that the two-day conference is just a trade show for the French nuclear contractors, who lost a massive $20 billion deal to South Korea, after the United Arab Emirates asked the Asian country to supply four reactors with a lower offer. "
