Nuclear Energy
October 26, 2007
Climate change is leading to renewed interest in nuclear energy, a proven source of zero-carbon electricity.
While some countries plan major increases in nuclear power, others remain strongly opposed.
Nuclear power's contribution to meeting future energy needs and addressing climate change will depend on critical issues including cost, safety, waste disposal, and the risk of nuclear proliferation.
