[NukeNet] Nuclear Economics report from Greenpeace International

[MoJo]

Dear All,

Greenpeace has released our study on nuclear economics.

http://www.greenpea ce.org/usa/ press/reports/ the-economics- of-nuclear- power

It was co authored by former NRC Commissioner and NY State Public 
Service Commissioner Peter Bradford, among others.

The new report published by a team of international energy and economic 
experts conclusively proves
that nuclear power is neither a practical nor economically viable 
solution to tackling climate change.

The report, "The Economics of Nuclear Power", commissioned by Greenpeace 
International, finds that nuclear power
plant construction can run up to 300% over budget and, on average, take 
four years longer to build than planned.

There's good specif info about the US experience as well as the foibles 
abroad.

Please feel free to make use of it!

Jim

"Switching from coal to nukes," said Dan Becker, director of the Sierra Club's global warming program, "is like giving up smoking and taking up crack." 
   
  "Americans cannot escape a certain responsibility for what is done in our name around the world. In a democracy, even one as corrupted as ours, ultimate authority rests with the people. We empower the government with our votes, finance it with our taxes, bolster it with our silent acquiescence. If we are passive in the face of America's official actions overseas, we in effect endorse them." - Mark Hertzgaard
