The Nuclear Retreat

We coined the term, "Nuclear Retreat" here at Beyond Nuclear to counter the nuclear industry's preposterous "nuclear renaissance" propaganda campaign. You've probably seen "Nuclear Retreat" picked up elsewhere and no wonder - the alleged nuclear revival so far looks more like a lot of running away. On this page we will keep tabs on every latest nuclear retreat as more and more proposed new nuclear programs are canceled.

Global nuclear retreat continues while renewables soar

Nuclear power continues its decline worldwide while investements in, and development of, renewables soar.

Meanwhile, China, India, Germany and Japan now generate more power from renewables than nuclear. Read the report.
