This is a (slightly older) article about Nuclear Energy and climate change. It’s a hottly debated topic in climate communities, so I thought some of you would enjoy to read it.
Another article that brings up some more points against nuclear power can be found here.
I’d be interested what you ppl think of the matter.
Best and most obvious reason: nuclear waste.
Nuclear waste can be managed, in any case much better than dumping CO2 in the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, for baseline, the alternative is either fossils or nuclear. We can’t afford more of the former. So it’s the latter or lights out.
