Is Nuclear Power Our Energy Future, Or in a Death Spiral?

[kristopher]

9. I forgot - nuclear power is a fucked up way to meet our energy needs.

We can do everything we need far more safely and for less money, while achieving greater quality of life with renewables and energy efficiency.

'Yes we can' switch to 100 percent renewable energy
European Union environment ministers are discussing implementation of the Paris Agreement on Friday (04.03.). A timely transition out of fossil fuels is doable, says Alexander Och from Earthwatch. That is, if we act now.

Can we switch from fossil fuels to renewables in time to keep temperature rise to 2, ideally 1.5 degrees Celsius?
Not only can we do a transition to truly sustainable systems - financially, economically, socially and environmentally sustainable - we are in the midst of it. There is no one global trend in that direction, but there are many places, municipalities, provinces, whole countries, regions that are transitioning away from fossil fuels toward renewable ways of producing energy, and smarter ways of consuming energy. So it is absolutely doable.
