With an increasing global population, many wonder just how future energy needs can be met. While wind, tidal and solar energy are posited as being cleaner and sustainable when compared with fossil fuels, certain countries have opted for nuclear power as the solution to their energy needs.
Fukushima has however raised concerns about the safety of nuclear power and has served to place the nuclear industry on the back foot. Moreover, when government costs, the impact of uranium mining and the issue of long-term nuclear waste storage are factored in, the industry isn’t as cheap, energy efficient, sustainable, environmentally friendly or as safe as is often claimed.
Contrairement aux prévisions, et même à des affirmations, de beaucoup de spécialistes de l’énergie, l’Allemagne n’a pas eu recours au charbon pour compenser l’arrêt de 8 de ses 17 réacteurs en 2011. Et n’envisage pas de le faire, selon une étude de l’Iddri, à paraître la semaine prochaine.
