Nuclear power gets another look in ‘all-of-the-above’ energy approach as climate worries mount

Singer, S. (2023, June 20). Nuclear power gets another look in ‘all-of-the-above’ energy approach as climate worries mount. Utility Dive. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/nuclear-power-smr-climate-ira-omnibus-spending/639484/

Nuclear energy is increasing and also look by federal and state officials are to cut greenhouse gas emissions and bolster energy security. The International Atomic Energy Agency expects global nuclear capacity to be more than double 873 electrical GW net by 2050 and it would be more than 81 GW. The Inflation Reduction Act which communist about 369 billion for climate efforts, includes a zero-emission nuclear power production credit and it’s going to produce up to $15 an MWh of electricity produced.

 

What sparked me to get interested in this article is the number of greenhouse gases that are going to affect nuclear power plants. Also The Inflation Reduction Act is trying their best to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with the amount of money they are putting in to pay for the zero-emission nuclear power production credit

    • Thank for your comment, but President Biden was the one who signed the Inflation Reduction and the research that no greenhouse gases affect the nuclear power plants but at the same, the radioactive waste that is with it can really affect us humans

  1. In my opinion nuclear power can be a very dangerous source of energy not only because of the emissions of greenhouse gases but the waste that the energy produces.The question is nuclear energy a sufficient and sustainable power source for the world?

  2. Thank you for the comment, the answer to your question is that nuclear power is a sustainable power source for the world even if it releases toxic waste but it does not really affect us as much because it is just a small amount with the amount from a coal plant an hour we the toxic waste in 70 years released that same amount
