“Picking losers:” Choosing nuclear over renewables and efficiency will make climate crisis worse

“Carbon-free power is necessary but not sufficient; we also need cheap and fast,” says Lovins, the co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute, now known as RMI, and who has been advising governments and companies on energy efficiency for half a century.
“We therefore need to count carbon and cost and speed. At actual market prices and deployment speeds, new nuclear plants would save manyfold less carbon per dollar and per year than cheaper, faster efficiency or modern renewables, thus making climate change worse.
“The more urgent you think climate change is, the more vital it is to buy cheap, fast, proven solutions—not costly, slow, speculative ones.

No one discusses the carbon impact of refining uranium, manufacture of fuel rods, transporting fuel rods to the reactor, transporting fuel rods to a repossessing waste treatment facility, processing the waste, transport to a waste facility & then ongoing storage.
