New Study Casts Doubt on the Future of Nuclear Power

Compete or suckle: Should troubled nuclear reactors be subsidized?
Nuclear fission is neither emissions free (gaseous radioactive and radioactive fluid releases as normal part of the process) nor is it carbon free (the only part that is carbon free is the chain reaction.

TEPCO admits that ice wall will not stop groundwater from entering crippled Fukushima Daiichi reactor buildings
Fukushima Dai-ichi continues to show what happens when a nuclear plant fails. Nuclear power is no longer competitive in the energy market and all around the world renewable energy resources are growing.

It’s too risky to wait for Pilgrim plant’s shutdown
Pilgrim is also owned by Entergy Nuclear Northeast. Do you think that Indian Point is any better run or maintained by the company that is losing profitability frm their nuclear plants? I don’t.

It is an old and degraded facility and its sister plants of Entergy Nuclear Northeast (Vermont Yankee – closed, Pilgrim in Cape Cod – closing, FitzPatrick –...
