This site contains responses to the misconceptions about nuclear power, addressing the following questions:
Why is nuclear on the decline?
Isn't nuclear just too expensive?
But aren't nuclear plant owners now asking for more subsidies?
Doesn't nuclear get extra subsidies, including free insurance and decommissioning?
Aren't solar and wind becoming so much cheaper that we don't need nuclear?
But won't we fix these short-term problems of integrating solar and wind?
Can't poor countries "leap-frog" over fossil fuels directly to solar and wind?
Isn't nuclear a right-wing technology?
Is nuclear really low-carbon energy?
Isn't the electrical grid an inefficient relic being disrupted?
But isn't the trend now toward distributed rather than centralized production?
Isn't nuclear just as inflexible as solar and wind?
Isn't nuclear just too slow to scale up?
Aren't we ratepayers going to be stuck with the costs of decommissioning?
