Title: Nuclear is Green Post by Belgarion on Jul 7th, 2022 at 12:42pm
In a huge victory for common sense the EU has declared that nuclear power is 'green' along with natural gas.

From your ref -
"Somewhat ironically, the German government expressed opposition to the policy as being counter to its own efforts to retire its few remaining nuclear power plants." Germany is still tied to Energiewende. |

It's time that the Australian populace understood the safety of nuclear
power generation and its necessity for the country to "go green" and give fossil fuels the big heave-ho by 2050. Looking at the rest of the world's major nuclear power generators should sound some sort of wake up call for the tree-huggers surely? China has 53 reactors and 16 under construction, France 56 and 1, Russia 34 and 4, US 94 and 2, Japan 33 and 2, South Korea 24 and 3, India 22 and 8, UK 15 and 2. As of June 2022, 447 reactors with a net capacity of 398,176 MWe are operational, and 52 reactors with net capacity of 54,377 MWe are under construction. US utility-scale electricity generation by source, amount, and share of total in 2021: Fossil fuels: 2,504 billion kWh, Nuclear: 778, Wind: 380, Hydro: 260, Solar: 115. [one kWh = the amount of energy a device needs to run for one hour] |
