An excellent entry on New Energy News this week, pointing out the sham of the nuclear renaissance:
"In contrast, the nuclear energy industry keeps predicting a grand "renaissance" in which it recaptures its 1960s and 1970s glory. Yet its actual new installed capacity is virtually nonexistent and its existing facilities are wearing out and leaking. What new capacity is being built, largely in the developing world, is offset by the decommissioning of decaying plants. Except the piling up of radioactive waste, for which there is still no safe solution, anything increasing in the nuclear energy industry besides hype is getting progressively hard to find."
