Climate changeNuclear powerNuclear proliferationIntegrated energy, environment, and economics modeling suggests that worldwide electrical energy use will increase to ~12 TWe in 2100. Due to limitations of other low-carbon energy sources, nuclear power may be required to provide ~30% of world ...
1 As a firming, resilient, and dispatchable energy source, nuclear power can be generated at any time. It can also complement nondispatchable2 power sources, such as wind and solar, to ensure that the total power supply meets grid demand. After construction of new...

People attend the International Conference on Climate Change and the Role of Nuclear Power at the Vienna International Centre in Vienna, Austria, Oct. 7, 2019. Some 550 participants representing 79 countries and 18 international organizations are taking part in the week-long conference, the first o...
Four leading climate scientists have said that the world will have to rely on nuclear power, as well as renewable energy sources, in the fight against climate change. Inan open letter, James Hansen, formerly of NASA, Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution, Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts...
Nuclear power can play a significant role in fulfilling the world’s climate change promises. But this can only happen if the industry meets the challenge of expanding efficiently and cost-effectively.Chad Cramer is an associate partner in McKinsey’s Columbus, Ohio office; ...

However, a systematic analysis of nuclear power policies, including early retirement, has been missing in the climate change mitigation literature. We apply an energy economy model framework to derive scenarios and analyze the interactions and tradeoffs between these two policy fields. Our results ...
from outside California, and it's all going to come from gas and coal plants," said Carl Wurtz, president of Californians for Green Nuclear Power, an advocacy group that supports the industry. "We need to put into proportion the dangers of nuclear versus the dangers of climate change." ...
