With up to two years of fuel stored on-site, nuclear power plants are more reliable compared to other fuel sources that need to be delivered to the site. It is a carbon-free dispatchable source of electricity that provides the necessary 24/7 baseload capacity t...
Hence, for RES-E producers, financial support may arise from selling certificates in addition to the revenues from selling electricity on the power market. 3 Method of approach Renewable energies were compared with the nuclear option by looking at the quantities of power they can both generate ...
The phase-out of nuclear power provides an implicit subsidy to alternative technologies, including less mature ones. This induces investments in innovation to early stage technologies that feature higher learning potential and international externalities compared to the alternatives that are displaced. Learni...
As a result of their renewables-only policies, California and Germany are climate laggards compared to nuclear-heavy places like France, whose electricity is 12 times less carbon intensive than Germany’s, and 4 times less carbon intensive than California’s. ...
Two important questions that need to be asked are: Is nuclear energy sustainable, and would it be possible to replace fossil-fuel derived energy with ‘renewables’ (e.g., wind- and solar energy), as is advocated by many governments and environmental organizations? To answer these questions, ...
Part of the battle over the “nuclear bro” label is that some nuclear supporters believe that renewables have been overhyped and that nuclear alone is the pathway to aclean energytransition. This puts them at odds with groups who might be their natural allies — moderate environmental organization...
The centralised nature of nuclear power, compared to decentralised renewables, means that finding the cash to pay for new reactors is not easy. “The nuclear power industry is about really big engineering projects that take many years of planning, with designs that must be approved by regulators...
