Green Real Deal

After 48 Years, Democrats Endorse Nuclear Energy In Platform It took five decades, but the Democratic Party has finally changed its stance on nuclear energy. In its recently released party platform, the Democrats say they favor a “technology neutral” approach that includes “existing and advanced nuclear” energy.

Remove filthy biomass from that and add clean nuclear energy.

Goldman Sees $16 Trillion Opening as Renewables Pass Oil and Gas Spending on renewable power is set to overtake oil and gas drilling for the first time next year as clean energy affords a $16 trillion investment opportunity through 2030, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Environmentalists are blaming the IEA for reporting what measures countries are taking regarding climate.

Like it's the IEA's fault somehow that nations are not taking the proper measures.

De-mystifying small modular reactors SMRs have specific advantages over traditional nuclear power plants that could benefit our industrial societies.

Why ‘100% renewable energy’ pledges are not enough We need to hold companies to higher standards that better meet the planet’s needs

"‘Substitute not sacrifice’ should be the mantra. The vision should be for abundance not scarcity, enabling all people to access modern energy services that are vital to quality of life."

Nuclear Power Does Slow Climate Change Why are we trying to close nuclear plants that have been relicensed as safe for another 20 yrs? To save a penny to spend on renewables and say that helps climate change? As all climate scientists agree, prematurely closing nuclear plants is bad for the climate. And it doesn’t save any money at all...
