It was a shower thought for me this morning, after having seen all these record temperatures being broken around the world.
But, if it gets too hot to cycle, then people won’t. And if they aren’t cycling, they may start driving again, which compounds climate change even further.
Does this worry anyone else?
Nuclear energy is clean. Waste can be reprocessed and reused, when it’s completely and utterly spent it’s essentially no longer radioactive and can be safely buried. There is also emerging nuclear technology that can continue to generate energy from mostly spent fuel. The amount of waste produced is almost negligible, especially when compared to other fuel-based energy systems. Nuclear is also far more productive and efficient than wind or solar, and requires less space. I firmly believe nuclear energy has a place among the clean green energy sources of the future.
