New research shows renewables are more profitable than nuclear power::In a recent study, researchers from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) questioned the planned development of new nuclear capacities in the energy strategies of the United States and certain European countries.
New nuclear is banned in a lot of places due to people protesting it for decades. Which is crazy, because it is our best bet to get off fossil fuels in the short term.
New nuclear doesn’t really do short term though. They take years and years to plan and build and nearly always go over budget while the completion data slips and slips.
No matter how you spin it, banning new nuclear is a win for fossil fuels because it takes away a major option.
I’m not spinning anything, just stating the facts. I’ve noticed that facts and the rabidly pro-nuclear doesn’t seem to get along very well though.
