That it has been shown, that an individual's worldview actually has direct effect on their opinion of nuclear energy (Peters and Slovic, 1996), makes for less than objective expectations on this topic. It has been argued that this implicit bias against the facts come from the “birth ...
Nuclear fission energy is considered to be somewhere between the holy grail, required to solve all energy worries of the human industrialized civilization, and a fast path directly to hell. Discussions about future energy sources and the possible contribution from nuclear energy are often dominated ...
Nuclear Fast Facts It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of green energy, but nuclear has been contributing to the UK's electricity generation for decades. Nuclear generates electricity with very low carbon emissions and has an important role to play in our energy ...
Nuclear energy:There are other low-carbon sources of energy. Why should we choose nuclear? Compared to all other common energy sources, nuclear energy has three significant advantages that are not widely appreciated: high capacity factor [DOE, 2020], long service life [Statista, 2023], ...
If American medicine were a patient, he would weigh 350 pounds and be gaining fast. Despite being repeatedly counseled about the dangers of morbid obesity, he would be making at best half-hearted attempts to mend his gluttonous (excessive drinking and eating) ways. Meanwhile, his doctors, insu...
The Future of Nuclear Energy: Facts and Fiction Chapter I: Nuclear Fission Energy Today Nuclear fission energy is considered to be somewhere between the holy grail, required to solve all energy worries of the human industrialized civilization, and a fast path directly to hell. Discussions about fu...
Can solar and wind scale fast enough to keep climate change in check, by decarbonizing our energy and transportation sectors? That’s a controversial matter. What’s not at all controversial is that nuclear power, if it can be implemented safely and … ...
With the acceleration adjustment of China's energy structure, the development of nuclear power plants in China has been going back to the fast track. While as the trend of slowing electric power demand is now unmistakable, it enforces th... K Zheng,Zhang, Fu-qiang,Deng, Ting-ting,... ...
Now the Philippines and other countries in fast-growing Southeast Asia are looking to develop nuclear energy in their quest for cleaner and more reliable energy. Nuclear energy is viewed by its proponents as a climate solution since reactors don’t emit the plant-warming greenhouses gases released...
