‘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. One of the report’s key findings was that switching to nuclear power would emit more carbon per year than renewables because the plants take between five and 17 years longer to build than utility-scale solar or onshore (...)

There is still no place for nuclear energy in Australia
Brisbane Times February 20, 2020 — 11.10pm By Josh Wilson I find it astonishing that while our communities and ecosystems alike suffer through Australia’s first national climate change disaster there are politicians who seek to distract from the key challenges before us by jumping on the old nuclear hobbyhorse.

The Countries Operating The Most Nuclear Reactors
Feb 6, 2020, 06:57 am Niall McCarthy Contributor Business Data journalist covering technological, societal and media topics In 2018, global nuclear power generation increased by 2.4%, primarily due to a 19% increase in China where seven new reactors were brought online. Despite that, nuclear’s share of global electricity generation has continued its slow decline from a historical peak of about 17.5% in 1996 to 10.15% in 2018. Meanwhile, renewables are thriving with a record 165

Is This The Death Knell For Nuclear?
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 (...)
