IEA: Global Nuclear Capacity Needs To Double To Meet Net-Zero Goals

The IEA is calling for the world to boost nuclear capacity.

The agency says global nuclear capacity needs to double over the next three decades to reach net-zero goals.

An IEA official also noted that the energy crisis has presented a unique opportunity for a nuclear revival.

Nuclear power capacity needs to double worldwide over the next three decades to reach net-zero carbon emissions targets to ensure energy independence, argued the International Energy Agency (IEA).The Paris-based group’s executive director Fatih Birol outlined that nuclear has a unique opportunity for a revival in the context of the global energy crisis, skyrocketing fossil fuel prices, energy security challenges, and climate commitments.

OK! It is abundantly clear that the IEA is saying categorically that ze renewables - wind/solar/hydro - are NOT up to ze job!

HOWEVER, read what ze so-called "self-anointed" Climate Council (Flim Flam is ze Chief Councillor) says about nuclear energy:

Nuclear power stations are not appropriate for Australia – and probably never will be | Climate Council

Nuclear power is not renewable. Uranium is a finite resource just like coal, oil and gas. While the operation of a nuclear reactor does not create greenhouse gas emissions, all other parts of producing nuclear power are polluting from mining, to construction, decommissioning and waste management.
