Anti-nuclear FUD. I wonder who's paying for this stuff.
> Currently, the total global power consumption by mankind is about 15 terawatts (TW) —so the question we address is: Can nuclear power feasibly supply at least 15 TW?
This is a downright idiotic question. Humans use and will continue to use a variety of different energy sources. Which sources specifically depends on economic viability that differs based on the location, availability of raw materials, current energy prices and government incentives.
If you're really serious about preventing drastic climate change due to C02 emissions, you should consider scaling up all energy sources that don't produce CO2.

Oil companies, of course: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_of_the_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_of_the_Earth > Friends of the Earth was founded in 1969 in San Francisco by David Brower, Donald Aitken and Gary Soucie after Brower's split with the Sierra Club[4] due to the latter's positive approach to nuclear energy. The founding donation of $500,000 (in 2019 USD) was provided by Robert Orville Anderson, the owner of Atlantic Richfield oil company.[5]
- fsh 7y agoI don't think that shallow dismissals and conspiracy theories add much to the discussion.
- sdinsn 7y agoOil companies fund anti-nuclear groups. This is not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact. By the way, your comment is nothing but a shallow dismissal of his comment...
