Nuclear Power: Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't?
2013-03-18 06:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: To some critics, there is no riskier source of electricity than nuclear power. For others, nuclear power's minimal greenhouse gas footprint makes it a vital alternative to carbon-belching coal and natural gas in the pitched battle to curb climate change -- and a far more reliable energy source, at least for now, than wind and solar power. To still others, nuclear power's advantages in the carbon war are eclipsed by the crippling economics of getting a nuclear power plant built, making it a prohibitive...
Britains Plans for New Nuclear Plant Approach a Decisive Point, 4 Years Late
2013-03-15 21:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: If all goes according to plan, the British energy minister on Tuesday will formally approve construction of the countrys first new nuclear power plant in nearly two decades. But little has gone according to plan in this ambitious project, which is already more than four years behind schedule. Although envisioned as a big bet on Britains clean-energy future, the project has been bogged down in months of dickering between the British government and EDF Energy, the French state-controlled power company...
Japan faces higher fuel bill as nuclear shutdown enters third year
2013-03-14 05:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The restart of Japan's nuclear power industry is proving pivotal to the economic vision of the country's prime minister as soaring fuel bills after the Fukushima disaster threaten to keep the country's trade in a deeper deficit for longer. As Japan marks the second anniversary this week of a crisis that scarred the nation, the fuel bills to pay for lost atomic output are leaving their own scars on the economy, partly owing to Abe's own making. His mix of economic policies - dubbed Abenomics...
