Shuttering a key part of PF - 4 abruptly halted two types of sensitive work done nowhere else in the United States, for roughly the next four years: The invasive sampling and analysis of selected aging nuclear weapons cores to ensure that intact models could all still function as intended; and the production of new cores that could be fit into more modern nuclear weapons or replace those pulled apart in testing.

Regardless of Hansen's dubious claims about CO2, America must build another hundred nuclear fission power plants for more electric power production.

[D] espite additions of substantial wind, solar, and nuclear capacity, when properly adjusted for capacity factor (the amount of annual energy produced per unit of capacity) to reflect production capability, the amount of new coal energy added to the China grid last year exceeded new solar energy by 17 times, new wind energy by more than 4 times, and even new hydro by more than 3 times.

According to a River Network report in June, electricity production by coal, nuclear and natural gas power plants is the fastest - growing use of freshwater in the U.S., accounting for more than half of all fresh, surface water withdrawals from rivers.

Just 11 % back expanding exploration and production of oil, coal and natural gas, and another 11 % support building more nuclear power plants.

J&D also note that by transitioning to more efficient technologies (for example, battery electric vehicles over the internal combustion engine, electric heat pumps for homes, and solar thermal energy with storage to provide baseload power rather than fossil fuels and nuclear) we can actually reduce global power production by 30 % compared to business - as - usual.

The more a decarbonisation pathway relies on biofuels production, the deployment of concentrating solar power, carbon capture or nuclear power, the more water it consumes.

Anyway, it is interesting that you can wrap your head around a statement like this (basically, electricity produced by gas / nuclear prevents production from coal and thus saved emissions), but are unable to understand that renewables do exactly the same (replacing emissions from coal) and they even do it more effectively than gas and way cheaper than nuclear.

Included in life cycle carbon are substantial methane leaks from natural gas production and pipelines, the energy for drilling, mining, transport, refining, and disposal that are much more significant for fossil fuels and nuclear energy than for renewables.

BP expects U.S. energy production to increase by 39 percent by 2040; with natural gas production up by 65 percent, oil production up by 55 percent, and renewable energy up by 220 percent, more than offsetting declines of 48 percent in coal and 28 percent in nuclear power.

Hanford was a plutonium production complex with nine nuclear reactors and associated processing facilities which played a pivotal role in US defence for more than 40 years starting.

Utilities prefer wind energy because the intermittent production at the wrong time of the day becomes a token excuse to build more fossil and nuclear fueled power plants.

It is a vision of: urbanization, as people in cities have more opportunities and use resources more efficiently; intensified food production to increase yields and leave more room for nature; the expanded use of nuclear energy, which has zero emissions and the smallest land footprint of any energy source; greater development of GMOs to reduce chemical use and increase yields; animal - free meat; «re-wilding» former farm and pasture lands with wolves, buffalo, mountain lions, and even formerly extinct species — all the while supporting universal human dignity.

This vision, as outlined in An Ecomodernist Manifesto, is one of urbanization; intensified food production to increase yields and leave more room for nature; the expanded use of nuclear energy, which has zero emissions and the smallest land footprint of any energy source; greater development of GMOs to reduce chemical use and increase yields; animal - free meat; and «rewilding» former farm and pasture lands with wolves, buffalo, mountain lions, and even formerly extinct species.

Poland depends on domestically available coal far more than other EU countries (solid fuels, coal and lignite, constitute 57 % of gross inland energy consumption for heat and electricity) with very little renewable energy production and no nuclear power.
