Thus, those huge growth rates aren’t yet translating into enough energy consumption to even stall global fossil fuel consumption growth. Nuclear power is unique among energy sources. You have to wonder where things would stand today if not for the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It’s understandable.

As coal-fired power plants are retired, there is a need for reliable and affordable zero-emission power replacements. Although it is cleaner than coal, natural gas is still a fossil fuel and therefore has associated greenhouse gas emissions. However, nuclear power is a viable option for meeting this need.

Nuclear power is up to three times more expensive than wind or solar Summary - Costs of renewables continue to fall incrementally and are at a record low of around €40 per MWh. Nuclear power plants, especially in the West, are confronted with high construction costs, extreme delays and more stringent safety measures.

Any time I write about nuclear power, it evokes passionate responses from readers. That was certainly the case following my previous article, Nuclear Power Could Cut The World’s Carbon Emissions In Half. There is always a contingent who are convinced that all we need is solar power. Where is nuclear power growing?

Facing embargoes on Russian fossil fuels and high energy prices, Europe survived last winter largely because of renewable energies, and the hard-nosed scrimping and saving of both Europe’s private sector and citizenry – not because of nuclear power.

Last week the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2022 was released, covering energy data through 2021. Fossil fuels accounted for 82% of primary energy use last year, essentially the same as in 2020, but down from 83% in 2019 and 85% five years ago. Renewables and Nuclear Power. Natural Gas. global share.
