  globalwarming nuclear power

  • Nuclear power remains dangerous, polluting, expensive and non-renewable. More nuclear power means more nuclear weapons proliferation, more nuclear-armed states, more potential "dirty bombs" and more targets for terrorists. It also means less resources invested in real solutions to growing energy demands.
  • If we would replace all fossil fuels with nuclear power, the world would run out of uranium in less than four years.
  • Currently, nuclear is a marginal energy source, supplying only two percent of the world energy demand, and there is no realistic scenario in which this could be significantly increased.

  Although nuclear power seems to be an option, this article claims that, with our current technology and resources, it is a non-renewable option that will promote, rather than solve, problems concerning global warming, nuclear arms proliferation, etc.
