that as far as climate change is concerned nuclear power has another huge
disadvantage. Wind and solar power stations take only months to build before
they produce power, so they quickly start to displace fossil fuels and save
emissions of carbon dioxide.</P>

emissions increasingly urgent, this makes nuclear power the wrong solution to

2019 status report, produced by a group of independent energy consultants and

cost of producing electricity from renewables – particularly wind and solar –
with nuclear. It says nuclear now costs between five and ten times as much as
solar and wind power.</P>

it buys many times less climate solution per dollar, than these major low-carbon
competitors. That reality could usefully guide policy and investment decisions

many nuclear countries, especially the US, the largest nuclear energy producer,
new renewables now compete with existing nuclear plants. If the money spent on
operating expensive nuclear plants were invested instead in cheaper renewables,
or in energy efficiency projects, then that would displace more fossil fuel
generation than keeping nuclear plants running.</P>

report catalogues the dismal record of delays in nuclear new build across the
world. At the beginning of 2018, 15 reactors were scheduled for startup during
the year; seven of these made it, plus two that were expected in 2019; of these
nine startups, seven were in China and two in Russia. Of the 13 reactors
scheduled to start up in 2019, four have already been postponed to 2020.</P>
