Introducing the Beyond Nuclear Talking Points

There are many excellent reports and studies that now show, definitively, that renewables and energy efficiency are the way forward on climate change and that continuing to use nuclear power -- or planning to build new nuclear plants -- actually makes climate change worse. In the first of our new series of Talking Points, in which we boil down the key arguments against nuclear power into succinct messages, we look at why nuclear power is too expensive and too slow -- regardless of its carbon emissions -- to contribute anything useful to the climate crisis challenge.
