Nuclear Power: Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't?
2013-03-18 06:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: To some critics, there is no riskier source of electricity than nuclear power. For others, nuclear power's minimal greenhouse gas footprint makes it a vital alternative to carbon-belching coal and natural gas in the pitched battle to curb climate change -- and a far more reliable energy source, at least for now, than wind and solar power. To still others, nuclear power's advantages in the carbon war are eclipsed by the crippling economics of getting a nuclear power plant built, making it a prohibitive...

Nuclear power capacity grew again in 2012: Report
2013-03-06 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The world's nuclear power generation capacity grew again in 2012 after a drop in 2011 in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, according to a draft new UN atomic agency report seen by AFP Tuesday. "The Fukushima Daiichi accident (in Japan in March 2011) is expected to slow or delay the growth of nuclear power, but not reverse it," the International Atomic Energy Agency report said. At the end of 2012, 437 nuclear power reactors were operating worldwide, two more than in 2011, with three new ones...

China: Wind Surpasses Nuclear: Proof Positive Renewables Can Power the Planet
2013-02-25 21:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Wind has overtaken nuclear as an electricity source in China. In 2012, wind farms generated two percent more electricity than nuclear power plants did, a gap that will likely widen dramatically over the next few years as wind surges ahead. Since 2007, nuclear power generation has risen by 10 percent annually, compared with winds explosive growth of 80 percent per year. Before the March 2011 nuclear disaster in Japan, China had 10,200 megawatts of installed nuclear capacity. With 28,000 megawatts...
