Nuclear Myths

The artilces contention is that articles in peer-reviewed journals, are increasingly based on four notions unfounded in fact or logic: that

1- variable renewable sources of electricity (windpower and photovoltaics) can provide little or no reliable electricity because they are not “baseload” -able to run all the time;

2- those renewable sources require such enormous amounts of land, hundreds of times more than nuclear power does, that they’re environmentally unacceptable;

3-climate change; and

4- nuclear power’s economics matter little because governments must use it anyway to protect the climate.

It claims that these arguments are widely expressed and cross-cited by organizations and individuals advocating expansion of nuclear power. It therefore subjects them to closer scrutiny than they have received in most public media.
