Nuclear Monitor #843: US- People’s Climate March
In December 2015, the world’s governments will convene at the COP 21 meeting in Paris to attempt to reach a global consensus on addressing our climate crisis. The nuclear power industry will attempt to use this forum to gather formal support for their obsolete, failed technology as a climate solution. But nuclear power is no…
The world’s nuclear power industry is hoping that genuine public concern over global warming will translate into new atomic reactor orders for this beleaguered industry.

Under these…

Their goal is to encourage the construction of new nuclear reactors in the U.S. and worldwide and prevent the shutdown of dangerous old reactors that cannot compete economically with clean…

We are seeing that understanding grow even in the U.S., which has lagged most other industrialized countries in popular support for climate action, and even whether climate change is real. As…
New study from Germany’s Oko-Institut: Costs of meeting international climate targets without nuclear power. Concludes a global nuclear phase-out by 2050 is economically feasible. U.S. and Japan would experience highest compliance costs, but these are marginal compared to GDP.
