Nuclear Power

Global Sustainable Energy Vision 2050
Gunnar Boye Olesen discusses a comprehensive series of visions, strategies and plans that demonstrate the transition to utilizing sustainable energy at the local, national, regional and global levels. Published February 2007

Global Energy Trends
The International Energy Agency and British Petroleum have released their latest annual reports on current trends in energy consumption. Newswatch editor Mick Kelly reports. Published November 2005

Vision 2050 for EU-15
A new vision for a transition to sustainable energy in Europe by 2050 has been developed. Newswatch editor Sarah Granich reports. Published December 2004

Global Energy Review 2003
World carbon emissions from hydrocarbon use rose by 3.8 per cent in 2003, with about half the increase accounted for by China. Newswatch editor Mick Kelly reports. Published August 2004

Beyond Nuclear
Beyond Nuclear argues that nuclear power is counterproductive to efforts to address climate change effectively and in time. Funding diverted to new nuclear power plants deprives real climate change solutions like solar, wind and geothermal energy of essential resources.

Climate Change and Nuclear Power
Climate Change and Nuclear Power, from the International Atomic Energy Agency, concludes that the best chance for sustainable development lies in allowing all energy supply options, including nuclear power, to compete, improve and contribute on a level playing field directly on the basis of cost-effectiveness, environmental protection and safety. Published November 2000

Forget Nuclear
Forget Nuclear, from the Rocky Mountain Institute, compares the cost, climate protection potential, reliability, financial risk, market success, deployment speed, and energy contribution of new nuclear power with those of its low- or no-carbon competitors. Published Spring 2008

Nuclear Energy and Climate Change
The International Nuclear Forum argues that a continued steady growth of nuclear energy will allow countries to avoid emitting greenhouse gases from their electricity sector and help them to meet their Kyoto commitment.

Nuclear Information and Resource Service
The Nuclear Information and Resource Service and World Information Service on Energy is the information and networking center for people and organizations concerned about nuclear power, radioactive waste, radiation and sustainable energy issues.

Nuclear Power and Climate Change
In Nuclear Power and Climate Change, the Nuclear Energy Agency investigates the role that nuclear power could play in alleviating the risk of global climate change. The main objective of the study is to provide a quantitative basis for assessing the consequences for the nuclear sector and for the reduction of GHG emissions of alternative nuclear development paths.

Nuclear Power: No Solution to Climate Change
Nuclear Power: No Solution to Climate Change, from Friends of the Earth Australia, concludes that nuclear power is a dangerous and inefficient way to address climate change. It argues that policy makers should focus on the practical benefits provided by renewable energy and energy efficiency – safe, proven technologies available now. Published September 2005

Nuclear Power: Special Issue of Nuclear Monitor
Nuclear Power: No solution to climate change, from NIRS/WISE International, argues that, despite claims that nuclear energy is the most effective way to solve the climate problem, nuclear energy is neither effective nor viable, it is not a sustainable source and it causes devastating problems that humanity is not able to handle.
