2015 will see nuclear power dream fade as wind energy and solar power soar
Governments are still spending billions on nuclear research, writes Paul Brown – but 2015 looks like being an unhappy year for the industry as it continues to shrink while renewables grow, amid massive delays and cost over-runs. With nuclear power falling ever further behind renewables as a global energy source, and as the price of … Continue reading 2015 will see nuclear power dream fade as wind energy and solar power soar

Nuclear Power
Worldwatch Institute analysis examines the state of the global nuclear energy industry. The levelized capital cost of nuclear energy is 6-81 percent higher than the capital cost of other sources of energy. Since 1987, expansion of the world’s nuclear power generating capacity has slowed considerably. Just 75 GW were added over the last 25 years, … Continue reading Nuclear Power
