Renewable Energy is Killing Nuclear Power
No Hope for Nuclear Energy & Capital, Posted July 22, 2015 Written by Jeff Siegel I changed my mind... Over the past few years, I’ve been reluctantly singing the praises of a new nuclear renaissance. I say reluctantly because I’m not actually a fan of expanding nuclear power. It just seems like a costly and superfluous agenda, as the trifecta of energy efficiency, storage, and renewable energy technologies is simply economically superior to nuclear. However, I never (...)

L’inexorable déclin du nucléaire face aux énergies renouvelables
Par Antoine Sillières Publié le 22/07/2015 à 08:00 Un récent rapport montre que 45% de la population mondiale vit dans des pays privilégiant l’éolien et le solaire à l’énergie nucléaire. Mais les centrales thermiques représentent toujours 67,9% de la production énergétique mondiale. Des énergies dans l’ère du temps pour assainir l’air du temps. Alors que l’Assemblée nationale vote ce mercredi la loi de transition énergétique, le rapport annuel de situation de l’industrie nucléaire (...)

): Around the World, Nuclear Can’t Compete With Growing Renewables
Around the World, Nuclear Can’t Compete With Growing Renewables GreenTechMedia, July 16, 2015 Katherine Tweed Global investment in new nuclear is an order of magnitude less than renewable energy investment. That is just one of the findings of a new independent report on the state of the worldwide nuclear industry that was issued on Thursday. No matter which aspect of the nuclear industry is assessed, the picture isn’t pretty. Despite talk of a nuclear renaissance in the 1990s, no (...)
