natural gas and nuclear. The major drawback with wind power is the storage of energy since wind power is intermittent, also the number of sites suitable for installation of wind farms. Energy independence seems hard at first to accomplish; there are no easy quick answers to our current energy...
The plant is dormant as Moscow and Kyiv have repeatedly accused each other of trying to sabotage its operations and endangering safety around the plant. "Yet again we see an escalation of the nuclear safety and security dangers facing the power plant," Grossi said. ...
Fukushima’s nuclear accident should teach us about nuclear power dangers, if only we’d pay attention Supposedly nuclear power plants are extremely clean – and certainly they don’t directly produce a “carbon” footprint, in the way that fossil fuels do. However, a few years ago we had...
