Investing in Nuclear Energy – 104 Reasons Behind the Nuclear Energy Revival
By Keith Kohl | Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 / energyandcapital.com 2/26/2008
“There are approximately 104 nuclear reactors operating in the U.S., accounting for roughly 20% of the total electricity we generate. If you really want to see where this industry is headed, just look at what we have planned for the future. Right now, there are 34 nuclear reactors being built around the world, with 93 on order or being planned and another 222 reactors that have been proposed.
Yet we aren’t the only country interested in boosting our nuclear power …
Recently, Britain also decided that nuclear energy may be the way to go. The government just gave energy companies the green light to develop and build new nuclear power plants. The first new power plant could be ready within the next ten years.
Last July, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Russia will double their nuclear energy by adding another 26 power plants. Of course, this is on top of another sixty the country expects to export over the next twenty years.
It’s practically impossible to talk about the world’s growing energy demand without mentioning India and China. Each is taking a different path with nuclear energy.”
Of course the entire world is interested in clean, efficient, inexpensive nuclear power, but the U.S. must Bomb Iran before they can get some too.
