Doch jetzt will Paris neue Kernkraftwerke in Auftrag geben - und provoziert so Streit mit dem EU-Partner Deutschland. Von Georg Blume, Paris – Freitag, 03.01.2020 19:19 Uhr Es war in den letzten Jahren ruhig geworden um Frankreichs einst so heftig kritisierte wie gepriesene Atomindustrie. Es schien, als würde sich die einst weltweit beachtete Vorzeigebranche mit der Zeit von selbst erledigen - (…)

24 September 2019 Reuters Nuclear energy too slow, too expensive to save climate: report BUDAPEST/PARIS (Reuters) - Nuclear power is losing ground to renewables in terms of both cost and capacity as its reactors are increasingly seen as less economical and slower to reverse carbon emissions, an industry report said. In mid-2019, new wind and solar generators competed efficiently against even existing nuclear power plants in cost terms, and grew generating capacity faster than any other power type, the annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) showed. “Stabilizing (…)
