Jacobson on nuclear power’s climate footprint His new study states that nuclear power results in 25 times more carbon emissions than wind. Furthermore, “1.5% of plants have melted down, and there are problems related to weapons proliferation with nuclear, radioactive waste, mining damage, etc. Not even mentioning the cost, which is very high and currently subsidized in the U.S. It’s not a viable option; it’s really the nuclear industry trying to push it to get more business.”

This is the same nuclear waste dump that the NWMO has held up as a model for their own nuke dump proposed for the shore of Lake Huron, Ontario.
