Nuclear power is no solution to global warming: real hope lies in energy efficiency and renewable energy
by Nancy Rader, Ken Bossong
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 1, No. 1/2, 1989

Abstract: The threat of global warming has sparked intense world interest over how greenhouse gases that cause climate change should be reduced. The discussion has included debate over whether a revitalisation of nuclear power can contribute to the solution. The authors argue that, at least in the United States, nuclear power is the least effective option available due to its high cost and long lead time for implementation. Further, they argue that a cost-effective hybrid of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and natural gas technologies could reduce coal and oil use by over two-thirds in the electric, industrial and commercial sectors of the US economy by the year 2000.
