21 February 2020 ENDS (UK) ‘Costly and unavailable’: Report condemns nuclear power ENDS Laura Cole 20 Feb 2020 ‘Costly and unavailable’: Report condemns nuclear power Nuclear power is more expensive in EU member states than renewables, according to the latest edition of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report.

By Haley Zaremba - Jan 18, 2020, 2:00 PM CST It’s nearly impossible to discuss climate change and the future of the energy industry without discussing nuclear energy. Nuclear energy produces zero carbon emissions, it’s ultra-efficient, it’s already in widespread use, and could be scaled up to meet much more of our global energy needs with relative ease, but it is, and will likely always be, an extremely divisive solution. For all its virtues, nuclear energy certainly has its fair share of (...)
