  Nuclear power is literally the most green energy on the planet. It has the same levels of CO^2^ emissions as wind, which is better than solar and hydro.

  Even taking into account the life-cycles, it still comes out as one of the best options.
  Study: Understanding future emissions from low-carbon power systems by integration of life-cycle assessment and integrated energy modelling

  There isn’t a perfect energy source, that all countries can use to transition to green energy. Not all countries have access to great conditions to harness solar or wind efficiently or have easy access to hydro. Europe is investing heavily into interconnectivity to take advantage of each country geographical strengths.

  And nuclear energy is on a rise. SMBs negates all the downsizes of the old, sketchy nuclear plants, and companies are already buying into them.

    I am sorry, but reality says otherwise.

      You linked the same study that doesn’t even pose the hypothesis for which is energy source is more green. All that study did was linked high GDP with lower emissions overall, and low GDP with higher emissions overall and suggested that nuclear and renewables are incompatible, which is pure bullshit. Look at Norway, Sweden, France, Paraguay, Iceland, and Nepal who manages ~90% of total energy production via renewables and nuclear.

      If countries want to reach 100% renewable energy throughout the full year in-house, they will have to use multiple sources due to how cyclical it can be. At least until energy storage gets completely reinvented.

        Sometimed I am astonished that people post in a forum without being able to comprehend text

        We find that larger-scale national nuclear attachments do not tend to associate with significantly lower carbon emissions while renewables do.

      I fucking love that you write “one of many many many sources” and then link a singular source twice.

        Its really easy to find this sources but I really dont know what you want to know. Maybe about being expensive? Slow?. There is literally tons of material out there…
