IEA: steep decline in nuclear power would threaten energy security and climate goals

Green Car Congress

With nuclear power facing an uncertain future in many countries, the world risks a steep decline in its use in advanced economies that could result in billions of tonnes of additional carbon emissions, according to a new report by the International Energy Agency. Investment in new nuclear projects in advanced economies is even more difficult.

LLNL’s Energy Flow Diagrams Show That The US Isn’t Moving The Needle On Climate Action

CleanTechnica EVs

In 7 years of electrification and deployment of wind and solar, the US barely budged the needle, in fact declining slightly to more wasted energy in 2016 and 2017 before improving again in 2018 and onward.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables.
