Executive summary: The nuclear industry, which has been in decline for several
decades, has seized upon the climate crisis as a revival
opportunity, aggressively promoting nuclear technology as a
“low-carbon” means of generating electricity and thus an
important part of our future energy mix. However, nuclear
power forms an expensive and dangerous distraction from the
real solutions to climate change – the necessary greenhouse
gas reduction targets can only be met through using the proven alternatives of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency.
