Nuclear costs “at least” 拢200/MWh it says, while the cost of offshore wind power is 拢140/MWh. "This confirms that nuclear power is entirely uneconomic," says Dr Gerry Wolff of Energy Fair.There is now “abundant evidence” that renewables are much cheaper than nuclear power, he says...
Is nuclear energy renewable? Even though nuclear power is considered a clean energy due to its low- to zero-carbon emissions, it’s not renewable. Nuclear energy requires uranium, which needs to be mined from the ground and exists only in finite amounts in specific locations. Regardless, nuc...
Renewables and any battery cannot make the cut and probably never will in their current form, in fact just forget and concede to the educated. The swap over in my estimation will be a long time unless this country bites the bullet and gets some nuclear action. Before whinging occurs, Lucas...
The industry’s growth has been undercut by the simple economic fact that fossil fuels remain cheaper than renewables. Both Obama administration officials and green energy executives say that the business needs not just government incentives, but also rules and regulations that force people and busine...
"The Street got ahead of it saying you're not going to build renewables, it's all going be nuclear," Gluski said. "It's going to be natural gas and renewables, but the bulk of it's going to be renewables," the CEO said.
technical program that has been more than just a “slight modernization” of weapons components, but a dramatic step towards the capability to fight and win nuclear wars with both China and Russia. In other words, there is nothing really “new” here at all, save the very public nature of...

Nuclear fusion is back in the news. This week, the US Department of Energyannouncedwhat it called a “major scientific breakthrough” in fusion power research:for the first time, a fusion experiment had produced more energy than the energy used to kick off the reaction. It’s not the first...
side agrees that renewables are crucial, but says society needs a baseload of power to provide electricity when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. Nuclear energy, being far cleaner than oil, gas and coal, is a natural option, especially where hydroelectric capacity is limited...
Let's suppose, though, that everything goes right for nuclear. Imagine NuScale reactors can arrive on time and on budget, that Australia has a carbon tax high enough to make nuclear competitive with coal, and cheaper alternatives of firmed renewables (battery-backed solar and wind) run into ...
