Solar and wind fuels emit no carbon, but “low carbon” nuclear fuel- it’s a lie! theme for November 18
Solar and wind energy both flow directly to the generating system.
Not only are these fuels carbon-free, but, unlike nuclear, they leave no wastes
Only one step in that uranium-nuclear chain is low emission – though all nuclear lobbyists claim that this step is “no emission” – the reactor’s operation. BUT – Carbon-14 is produced in coolant at boiling water reactors (BWRs) and pressurized water reactors (PWRs). It is typically released to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide at BWRs, and methane at PWRs.

“You guys”? There’s only one of me. Yes, I set up this website in 2007. I am a complete amateur. It is a free WordPress site. I have no funding for it. It suits my needs – content is more important to me than a modern look. Plenty of other groovy-looking websites around, for you to enjoy.
