20 countries from four continents launched the Declaration to Triple Nuclear Energy by 2050
"Endorsing countries include the United States, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Ghana, Hungary, Japan, Republic of Korea, Moldova, Mongolia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and United Kingdom. "
@spiritedpause @worldnews It’s sleight-of-hand. Fossil fuels - the wealthiest industry in human history - has successfully kept nuclear and renewables at a 10% market share since the first electric car over a hundred years ago. Sacrificing future generations so fossil fuels billionaires get another yacht, is the fashionable abuse-of-power, nowadays.
Nukular was between 15 and 20% in the 90s. It decline afterwards to now 9%.

@umbrella@lemmy.ml It’s the only way they can use “clean energy” Wind and/or Solar can’t replace coal , oil or gas power plants.

Good. We should be in the nuclear age now with an electric infrastructure already in place and looking forward fusion and renewables.
Trying to go from fossil fuels to renewables is too difficult a step.
20 countries but excluding the single largest driver of nuclear energy development in the world: China.
What a fucking worthless declaration.
How isn’t that even better, then? Those countries set a bar for themselves, no matter what China decides to do
I’m not so sure that it’s completely worthless. Maybe a third to half of the signees could purchase reactors from Chinese firms.
Why would they need to declare anything? They already are pivoting away from fossil fuels as hard as they can.
Because the world moves to solar and wind, not nukular
