China Dialogue (

/China): Nuclear power too slow for post‑Paris decarbonisation drive
Nuclear power too slow for post-Paris decarbonisation drive China Dialogue, 22.12.2015 Zhang Chun Nuclear power appears too costly and cumbersome to play a major role in decarbonisation, writes Zhang Chun Efforts to speed carbon cuts pledged under the Paris climate deal will require a fast, mass mobilisation of low carbon technology at costs that can be competitive with coal, a task to which nuclear power will likely be unsuited. So says a new version of the World Nuclear Energy (...)

Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany): Kernkraft – Technik von gestern
Kernkraft – Technik von gestern sueddeutsche.de wissen, 14. Dezember 2015, 18:49 Könnte die Atomenergie mit dem Pariser Klimaabkommen eine Renaissance erfahren? Es wäre eine sehr schlechte Idee. Kommentar von Björn Finke Eine klare Botschaft: Kraftwerke, die mit Kohle, Gas oder auch mit Öl befeuert werden, haben keine Zukunft mehr. Nehmen Regierungen die wegweisende Klima-Einigung von Paris ernst, müssen diese Dreckschleudern in den kommenden Jahrzehnten vom Netz gehen, weil sie (...)

Daily Maverick (South Africa): Nuclear Build: Do we really know what we are entering into?
Nuclear Build: Do we really know what we are entering into? Daily Maverick Dirk de Vos, 11 Dec 2015 12:26 (South Africa) In countries where nuclear power policy serves an overall energy policy that serves the public, and not the other way around, no nuclear power plants are being built. Those part of the world that procure electricity using democratic, transparent and market-based methods do not build new reactors. It is not surprising. Nuclear energy is ruinously expensive, it is (...)
