In the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, Japan and
some of the world’s other major proponents of nuclear energy made plans
to radically cut fission from their energy mixes. But these policy
initiatives may be just temporary shifts. In a recent survey, a panel of
leading climate experts said we’re better off dealing with the risks
that come with nuclear plants than the certainty that, by continuing to
operate coal-fired plants, we’ll exacerbate global warming. In fact,
they said, nuclear power will play a crucial role in any plan to
stabilize the effects of global warming until our abilities to harness
wind and solar energy are sufficient to meet growing demand.
