A short film on nuclear power vs renewables and efficiency.
The single biggest use of fossil fuels isn't for electricity or for transport, but for creating heat (domestic and industrial). So any solution to climate change needs to contribute to heating, as well as to electricity generation.
Nuclear power contributes almost nothing to our enormous heating requirements. In the same amount of time and for less money, we could implement an energy system that will do far more to stop climate change and ensure energy security than nuclear power: a combination of renewables, efficiency, and combined heat and power:
More.
Nuclear _could_ contribute
Nuclear _could_ contribute to heating if the new plants are made that way. For example, Cernavoda 1 in Romania provides 10% of the whole country's heat as well as 10% of its electricity. All that from one compact machine.
And you know, wind turbines don't produce heat, do they? Only rubbishy little unreliable trickles of electricity.
Get real Greenpeace: The choice is not nuclear Vs. renewables no matter how many times you say it is. GP only say that to drum up support for their retarded suggestions.
