Subject | CO2 equivalent emissions |
Comment | Benjamin Savokool (spelling?), a respected Korean scientist, number crunched the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions for about two dozen different energy sources. Nuclear power mean CO2 equivalent global warming emissions was 66 grams per CO2 kilowatt hour. This is slightly below that of coal and petroleum for life cycle from cradle to grave. The nuclear power industry is misleading the news media, who, in turn, is releasing misleading information in general about nuclear power's role in global warming. Nuclear power is contributing significantly to global warming, just not as much as coal or petroleum. However, nuclear power is 33% higher in global warming emissions than the worst performing renewable energy source from cradle to grave that Savokool number crunched. Biomass and thermal energy--one was 39 grams and the other was 41 grams per CO2 equivalent kilowatt hour. All renewable energy performs significantly better than nuclear energy. Some much better than others. Nuclear power also has serious adverse contamination effects on people and environment for thousands of years for all phases from cradle to grave that far exceed dangers of all other energy sources. I am just making it clear that nuclear power is not an acceptable contender in reducing global warming emissions. |
