2⃣7⃣ "Nuclear energy is extremely compact and works year-round, and thus provides a superb way to eliminate carbon emissions while protecting the environment [...] also provides abundant jobs both in construction and long-term operation [...]"

2️⃣8️⃣ O que são resíduos radioactivos?
2⃣9⃣ O nuclear é a fonte de energia mais segura que conhecemos.

3⃣0⃣ As energias hidroeléctrica e nuclear são as duas maiores fontes de produção de energia de baixo carbono da actualidade.

3⃣2⃣ O recente relatório energético dos governos holandês/checo concluiu que:
➞Solar/eólico requer 148 a 536x mais espaço do que o nuclear
➞Solar/eólico custam 4x mais do que o nuclear
➞100% da electricidade solar/eólica exigiria uma área 1,8x maior do que toda a Holanda
Estes dados vão ao encontro das conclusões de @ShellenbergerMD, que a energia solar/eólica requer ≈ 200 a 500x mais espaço do que centrais nucleares comuns.

@ShellenbergerMD 3⃣3⃣ “The history of anti-nuclear scholarship strongly suggests that peer-review is no defense in the face of tenured academics with strong ideological commitments. Motivated cognition is a powerful thing.”

3⃣4⃣ “Why would a state ostensibly concerned with climate change turn away from its largest single source of clean energy? The answer, as is perhaps obvious, is the ideological insistence on renewables and an irrational fear of nuclear power.”

3️⃣5️⃣“To be fervently pro-nuclear is to see in the peaceful splitting of the atom something miraculous, [...] but which has received little credit and instead been maligned. The most significant problem with nuclear power, by far, is public perception.”

3⃣6⃣A receptividade ao nuclear nos EUA difere entre homens e mulheres:
♂️ A grande maioria dos homens, 70%, apoia o uso de mais energia nuclear, enquanto que 23% se opõe;
♀️ 42% das mulheres opõe-se ao aumento do uso de energia nuclear e 38% apoia.
