.... I often feel the need to defend nuclear power because there is so much negative 'media' founded on little substance. Admittedly, my father is a nuclear physicist. So, I have the good fortune of an expert at my finger tips. It can sometimes be my burden to bear as poor reporting and impassioned 'news' makes top headlines.
Passion aside, let's get one thing straight. Nuclear provides the potential for an enormous and reliable amount of power generation at zero greenhouse-gas emissions.
Remember this easy stat: The energy produced by 1 nuclear reaction is equivalent to 3,000,000 chemical, or fossil fuel, reactions.
More on this soon. Until then, check out this blog post at Forbes. It is illustrative of a side of the nuclear power equation often skimmed over.
Happy Friday,
