Nuclear power is no solution to the climate crisis: exposing the myths

The nuclear industry is hoping that concern over climate change will result in support for nuclear power. However, even solely on the grounds of economic criteria it offers poor value for money in displacing fossil fuel plant. Further, with its high cost, long construction time, high environmental risk and problems resulting from waste management, it is clear that nuclear power does not offer a viable solution to climate change. Rather a mixture of energy efficiency and renewable energy offers a quicker, more realistic and sustainable approach to reducing CO2 emissions.

    Here is a site that may shed some light on the other end of the argument. How viable will Nuclear Power be with in the next 10 years? Technology will allow better usage of nuclear fuel and future generation plants that are already on paper are projected to greatly reduce the amount/content of waste. And cost per Kilowatt Hour, Nuclear, compares to just about any other source of electrical production. Problem isn't the production... its our consumption! We need to figure out a way to conserve more, and I'm not talking about changing your light bulbs. The main problem with Nuclear Power Production is that nobody wants to live near a plant. I don't blame them; however, I would be more susceptible to living near one if the builders and owners also lived near the plant :)
