Why Scotland’s energy future shouldn’t be about nuclear

29th October By Amory Lovins, Professor Stephen Thomas, Professor Mark Jacobsen and Dr Paul Dorfman.

ED Miliband has asked GB Energy to assess Scottish sites it believes could be used to host new nuclear reactors. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer’s partnership
with Donald Trump ushers in “a golden age of nuclear”. But a few
awkward facts intrude. The main problem being that last year the world
added a record 582 GW of renewable energy generation capacity. That’s
more than 91% of all new power, with nuclear nowhere. In fact, each year,
nuclear adds as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days. The reason is simple.
