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...
Climate change and energy What China’s critical mineral ban means for the US The nation has signaled it’s prepared to hit back harder still, in ways that could inflict serious economic pain on its biggest economic rival. By James Templearchive page What’s next for nuclear power Global shi...
One of the compelling arguments for the expansion of nuclear power worldwide is that it doesn't emit greenhouse gases, which means that it would help mitigate the environmental risks related to climate change. Nuclear generation is a proven technology that can support large-scale electricity product...

OK, so enough blabbering and let me finish it up for you. Nuclear fusion is a slowly but very surely developing method of making clean energy. Tritium, also a version of hydrogen, is very rare and very expensive but can be produced. A good thing to note is that deuterium, a stable ...
In November 2023, the Natural Resources Defense Council shut down its nuclear mission and laid off its top lawyer, Geoffrey Fettus, along with its anti-nuclear litigation team, which had pursued decades of legal action against nuclear plants. This change mirrored similar actions by other anti-nuc...
