The World Really Could Go Nuclear
« on: Sep 14, 2015, 02:02 »

In just two decades Sweden went from burning oil to generate electricity to fissioning uranium. And if the world as a whole were to follow that example, all fossil fuel–fired power plants could be replaced with nuclear facilities in a little over 30 years. That's the conclusion of a new nuclear grand plan published May 13 in PLoS One.

These factors suggest that while a worldwide effort to follow Sweden’s nuclear example is possible—it’s not probable. "As long as people, nations put fear of nuclear accidents above fear of climate change, those trends are unlikely to change," Brook adds. But "no renewable energy technology or energy efficiency approach has ever been implemented on a scale or pace required."

Yes, the key word in the article and the title is could, we are all acutely aware of the unlikeliness of this happening.
