As the world debates the best way to preserve clean water and air, green house gas free skies, emissions free factories and alternative methods of transport as ways to fight climate change, the worldwide nuclear industry steps forth and offers itself as a possible solution. Nuclear energy is free of CO2 and other harmful green house gasses and can run for years on comparatively small amounts of fuel. But therein lies the rub: This nuclear fuel and radioactive will remain deadly for centuries and generations to come and not one country in the world has deployed a safe method for storing it. This section will focus on nuclear energy as a viable source for powering the future.

BRUSSEL – A hearing on the risk of a nuclear renaissance in the EU was held at the European Parliament on April 7th.
