Time
Magazine reports that nuclear energy is having a mixed reception at
COP26, One group sees it as a source of
energy that does not contribute to global warming, but another sees it as just
another source of pollution. Natural gas
faces an equally mixed reception, since it contributes less to global warming
than coal, but it still releases carbon dioxde.
France and Russia are champions of nuclear power, with US support, but
Germany, Belgium, New Zealand, and Austria oppose including nuclear as a green
power source.
One argument against nuclear plants is that they take a long
time to build and are expensive. But
that may be an argument to get started soon if we are going to need them.
