- ** Breaking news from our Dear Greenpeace campaigners ** A Swedish teenager and her supporters have been granted a historic hearing at Europe’s highest court in a bid to defend nuclear power’s place in the EU taxonomy for sustainable finance.

What is needed to find balance.....we should equal all to the same level and combine it all........placing windturbines as the only solution will bring collapse, water electrocity mills? Yes if we want damage all river life which would cause damage too....... The universe is the fight for balance we have desserts on one side and rainforrests on the other.......we have sand here and ice over there......and it all makes balance.........we just need to find balance among all sources of energy.
Power to you Ia and the rest of RePlanet.
I really don’t understand why you oppose to Nuclear Power?
the question with greenpeace is are they luddites, keynesians or both? solar panels are jobs programs at best
Nuclear fission is not renewable, sustainable, environmentally sound, and especially not safe. We have an extremely effective fusion reactor 8 light-minutes away, all we need to do is harness its output.
molten salt fission reactors are the best option on the table, fusion is not close to stable running let alone energy production
I agree solid fuel is antiquated, molten chloride salt fast reactors are quite cool.. can run on many fuel cycles including conventional 'spent' LWR fuel (~80% U238 + ~4% U235 still, solid fuel is not great)
- Nuclear doesn't have to be "renewable". The fuel lasts for ages and there's vast amounts of it.
- Nuclear very much is sustainable - It can run at near-100% uptime for decades.
- How is nuclear power not "environmentally sound"? It has no emissions and the waste is tiny. We've already found solutions to storing the waste too - bury it back into the ground in a geologically stable location.
- Nuclear energy is the SAFEST form of energy production we have ever invented, with only solar being competitive. Coal has 24-33 deaths/TWh, oil is around 18, gas around 3, hydro around 1, and then nuclear is at 0.03 deaths per terrawatt-hour.
For the safety, reliability, cleanliness, cheapness, and efficiency, being against nuclear energy is a massive folly.
Solar on the other hand is dependant on the sun being out in order to generate electricity, and therefore you would need batteries to store energy for nighttime. We don't have cost-effective battery solutions yet for mass solar adoption. Additionally, the components for solar come from China which is very bad for national security. Imagine our grid being dependant on Chinese products and then we ended up at war with them. Unlikely? That's not the point. Critical infrastructure shouldn't be at the mercy of a foreign power.
If individual households want solar, more power to them. But I stand firmly against using solar on a national level. Nuclear should be the backbone of the grid and people should be allowed to get solar panels for their own home.
Yeah sure, you're right, lets bankrupt the world economy whilst we destroy our environment with mining and electronics waste for solar panels. Only to then run out of power during the night and need to fire up the coal plants to keep everyone from freezing.
Modern nuclear fission plants are safe, and even if it wasn't, I'd urge you to consider that the alternatives are worse. Renewables are still not feasible in the short term, and we need a plan before we destroy our planet, and fission has been that option for a really long time now if it wasn't for the lobbying, bad press, and public perception.
None of what you are saying are anything other than the same nonsensical bullshit repeated over and over by antinuclear nuts.
Nuclear FISSION is THE way to go, the only really ace in the sleeve that humanity had invented to make unfathomable amounts of power without affecting the environment. Whilst fusion is nothing but a diversion fairy tale for gullible pseudo-environmental nuts, whom purpose is to protect the grip that fossil fuels lobby keep on our society by maligning and lying about the only real environmentally sound source of energy we can harness, as you are doing by parroting the same clueless nonsense that is harming the planet and humanity. You should be held accountable for those CRIMINAL LIES that have continuously spread, for the harm these absolute nonsense has done to a wide number of generations.
