Nuclear vs. Climate: Is nuclear power needed to contain the climate crisis?

  GLOBAL 2000 publishes fact-checking video on the COP 28 climate
conference – nuclear power more than twice as expensive as renewables,
aging-related nuclear power plant failures endanger security of supply.

At the start of COP 28 in Dubai tomorrow, GLOBAL 2000 and its German partner
organization BUND Umwelt are publishing an animated video that analyzes the
facts about nuclear power as a possible contribution to climate protection.
The explanatory video is intended to appeal particularly to younger people
who are exposed to disinformation campaigns via YouTube and other social
media platforms.

“Many of the nuclear industry’s claims do not stand up
to an objective fact check based on reputable sources such as the
International Energy Agency or the World Report of the Nuclear Industry,”
explains Reinhard Uhrig, nuclear expert at GLOBAL 2000.

“The announcements of ‘new’ or ‘modular’ reactor concepts (SMR and nuclear
fusion) are also coming too late in the next decade relevant to the climate
crisis – if they ever become ready for series production, because,
according to the Nuclear Energy Agency of the International Energy Agency,
this is questionable .”

  1. Any type of nuclear power, whether it is the new hyped SMR, boiling water or pressurized water nuclear reactor technology, not mater how it is fueled or cooled, be it thorium, uranium or plutonium or cooled with liquid sodium, salt or helium, they are all too expensive, too dangerous, take too long to build to reduce our carbon foot print and are totally unnecessary or practical to meet our energy needs and reverse climate change. Go to the websites of the Rocky Mountain Institute and The Solutions Project to find the research and plans for transitioning to renewable energy now.
