Reply #40: Only *8%* of people prefer nuclear over renewables - 8 % . [View All]

Nuclear power is failing because the reality is that it IS a POOR choice to meet our climate change and energy security needs.

Renewables are surging because the ARE a GOOD choice to meet our climate change and energy security needs.

Nuclear supporters realize they cannot convince an informed public that nuclear is good when it isn't, so they set about trying to tear down support for renewables by creating tripe like the OP.

This is a thread typical of what you can find every day on sites lie freerepublic or those of right wing radio stations.

What does real science tell us? That on a "per dollar" and "per unit of time" basis, renewable energy sources deliver more energy and more carbon reductions than nuclear power does.

Without the problems of nuclear waste, spreading nuclear weapons to every corner of the planet, or the potential high consequences of a failure of nuclear technology.
