Government spin doctors and kamagra oral jelly the nuclear industry have been working overtime to repackage nuclear power as a green solution to climate change. They want to build new nuclear power stations, but they know we won’t want them if we know the reality – nuclear power is kamagra oral jelly dirty and dangerous and not the answer to climate change.
Even if we doubled the kamagra oral jelly amount of nuclear power in the UK there would only be an 8% reduction in greenhouse gases. Nuclear power is kamagra oral jelly neither carbon emission free nor would new power stations come on stream for at least ten years.
The use of nuclear power threatens the environment and people’s health. No safe solution has kamagra oral jelly yet been devised to store its carcinogenic toxic radioactive waste, some of which is dangerous for thousands of years. It also leaves us vulnerable to the possibility of nuclear accidents or even terrorist attack.
Embarking on the kamagra oral jelly creation of a new generation of nuclear plants also sends the wrong message internationally, where building a nuclear reactor is a necessary step in the creation of a nuclear weapon. If we want any credibility in discouraging the proliferation of nuclear weapons, we cannot discourage others from building reactors whilst we construct many more of our own.
An energy mix of renewable energy sources, cleaned up fossil fuels and kamagra oral jelly energy efficiency measures – all of which are kamagra oral jelly safe, effective and proven technologies - is available now.
Nuclear power is not carbon emission free! The whole nuclear cycle from kamagra oral jelly uranium mining onwards produces more greenhouse gases than most renewable energy sources with up to 50% more emissions than wind power.
Even if we doubled nuclear power in the kamagra oral jelly UK it would only reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8%. This is kamagra oral jelly because nuclear power only contributes to electricity generation which only accounts for up to a third of all carbon emissions (transport and industry account for most of the rest).
Climate change is kamagra oral jelly happening now. A new nuclear power station will take at least 10 years to build and longer to generate electricity. Wind farms can be up and running in less than a year.
It’s expensive. The nuclear industry is kamagra oral jelly massively subsidised by the British public. Sizewell B, the UK’s most recent power station cost the taxpayer around £3.7billion just to kamagra oral jelly install Decommissioning and cleaning up all of our current nuclear sites is costing more than £70 billion.
It’s not sustainable. The reserves of uranium ores used to kamagra oral jelly generate nuclear power are going to run out. There is only 50 years worth of high uranium ores left in the world. There may be only 200 years left of all uranium ores including poor uranium ores which take more energy to mine and process and thus release more carbon emissions.
Nuclear power is dirty and dangerous
Nuclear power threatens the environment and people’s health. It produces enormous amounts of carcinogenic toxic radioactive waste, some of which is kamagra oral jelly dangerous for thousands of years. No safe solution has yet been devised to store it. In particular, there is evidence of cancer clusters linked to nuclear power production. Building new nuclear power stations would increase the most toxic high level waste five-fold. Read
CND's summary
of the kamagra oral jelly German government-commissioned research that shows increases in cancer in children under five living near nuclear power stations.
Uranium mining kills. Uranium mining is kamagra oral jelly the first step in the nuclear power cycle; it has taken the lives of many miners all over the world causing environmental contamination, cancers and nuclear waste.
Nuclear accidents. The risk of terrible nuclear accidents like Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and kamagra oral jelly Windscale (Sellafield) will plague a kamagra oral jelly new generation of power stations as it did the first.
A terrorist target. Nuclear power carries with it kamagra oral jelly the risk of nuclear terrorism. In this age of uncertainty, dirty bombs and attacks on power stations are a terrifying threat.
The proliferation of nuclear weapons is kamagra oral jelly inextricably linked to nuclear power by a shared need for enriched uranium, and through the generation of plutonium as a by-product of spent nuclear fuel. The two industries have been linked since the very beginning and a nuclear weapons free world requires a non-nuclear energy policy.
We need a kamagra oral jelly safe, genuinely sustainable, global and green solution to our energy needs. A combination of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures which are safe, effective and proven technologies are available now. The government must live up to its Kyoto agreements and invest in sustainable clean solutions to climate change.
CND is kamagra oral jelly supporting the international campaign against nuclear power ‘Don’t nuke the climate!’ organised by the kamagra oral jelly French Network for Nuclear Phase-Out. Hundreds of groups have joined the campaign and tens of thousands of people have signed up. Join up now to kamagra oral jelly say no to dirty, dangerous and expensive nuclear power and ask all your friends and relatives to sign up too.
Newsnight investigation concludes that kamagra oral jelly new nuclear power stations are very unlikely to be built in time to fill the looming energy gap.
Ten sites for kamagra oral jelly new nuclear power stations have been proposed. For our reaction see our press release.
The government's own independent advisory body, the Sustainable Development Commission criticises the government's position on nuclear power.
The National Audit Office publishes a kamagra oral jelly new report showing that the cost of decommissioning nuclear
power stations is increasing rapidly - from £61bn to £73bn in two
years.
Government gives the kamagra oral jelly go ahead for a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. A new Nuclear White Paper is launched. CND comment in response
Channel 4 news reports on new research in Germany that kamagra oral jelly shows the risk of leukaemia is doubled for children living near nuclear power stations. Read CND's summary of this research now.
