Global coalition of “Alternative Nobel Prize” laureates and members of the World Future Council condemn nuclear power expansion plans
...In unusually clear language the signatories of
the statement argue that nuclear energy is prone to insolvable
infrastructural, economic, social, health, ecological, and security
problems. The statement applauds the successful efforts being made
around the world to advance renewable energy as the only viable
alternative and those governments that have embarked on transforming
their energy sectors. "We strongly support the aspirations of numerous
regions across the globe in moving towards 100% decentralized renewable
energy to meet electricity, heating and transport needs," state the
signatories.
The statement ends with a call on governments "to remove existing
barriers to renewable energy development and to abandon nuclear power –
in their countries as well as outside their own territorial borders –
once and for all."
