And nuclear too

 

The Washington Post reports on the state of global energy;  renewables vs. conventional sources.

Renewables are on track to satiate the world's appetite for electricity

It has a very interesting opening.

"Renewable energy and nuclear power will meet almost all of the growth in global demand for electricity over the next three years, according to a report released today by the International Energy Agency."

Nuclear power -- really?

Yes, really.

"Nuclear output will also increase as France completes scheduled maintenance on its nuclear fleet, while new plants come online in Asia."

So people saying there's no future for nuclear apparently paying attention to the IEA.

Nothing is certain - but nuclear energy isn't going away.  And it shouldn't.
