nuclear power not so carbon friendly?
    Posted by: Admin,      Added: 01 May 2008 10:21

The case for nuclear power as a low carbon energy source to replace fossil fuels has been challenged in a new report by Australian academics. It suggests greenhouse emissions from the mining of uranium - on which nuclear power relies - are on the rise. Availability of high-grade uranium ore is set to decline with time, it says, making the fuel less environmentally friendly and more costly to extract. The findings appear in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
