The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The oil companies regard nuclear power as their rival, who will reduce their profits, so they put out a lot of disinformation about nuclear power.
If our nation wants to reduce global warming, air pollution and energy instability, we should invest only in the best energy options. Nuclear energy isn't one of them.
Nuclear power is not a miracle key for the future.
There is no need for nuclear. The world can be powered by wind, water and sun alone.
This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.
If we are to meet the growing electricity demand in the United States without significantly increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, we must maintain a diverse supply of electricity, and nuclear power must be part of that mix.
If we're going to be serious about decarbonizing the bulk-power system, nuclear has to be part of the conversation.
Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.
Nuclear power is cost-competitive with other low-carbon technology and is a crucial part of our energy mix, along with new sources of power such as shale gas.
Nuclear energy is a baseload - meaning it's power that you can run any time you want, day or night - and carbon-free.
