Nuclear Power Is Already Great

Stewart Brand , the founder of the legendary Whole Earth Catalog, came out in favour of nuclear power in 2007 .

James Lovelock , a long-time environmentalist hero and the creator of the Gaia theory, made an impassioned appeal in its favour in 2004 .

The IEA urges governments not to close nuclear plants, but to build new ones.

In 2021 , researchers managed to sustain fusion for five seconds , releasing 59 megajoules of energy.

This suggests that we may be closer to developing nuclear fusion reactors than previously thought.

But Bill Gates ’ involvement in advanced nuclear may be helping to make the technology more popular and promote the need for nuclear energy.

George Monbiot once again urged the government to “kill” the planned reactor at Hinkley Point and spend the earmarked money on “a comparative study of nuclear technologies, including the many proposed designs for small modular reactors.

The same thing happened to Chris Goodall , who is now a Green Party candidate.

Goodall reflected that this has made him uncertain as to whether he still supports nuclear power.

Ed Milliband is considering scrapping the planned construction of two large nuclear reactors in Anglesey , Wales .
