20 keer meer kerncentrales nodig

"The world needs 20 times more nuclear power plants to avert an environmental apocalypse that could kill billions of people due to global warming blamed on growing greenhouse gas emissions, a top nuclear advocate said Monday.

The suggestion from John Ritch, the director general of the World Nuclear Association, drew condemnation from environmental groups who say the risks of nuclear power — including weapons proliferation — far outweigh its potential benefits.

Currently, around 440 nuclear reactors produce around one-sixth of the world's electricity. At least 8,880 reactors producing up to 10,000 Gigawatt hours of energy were needed to prevent a global catastrophe, Ritch said."

Het is volgens mij onvermijdelijk dat er meer kerncentrales bij gaan komen...maar 20 keer zoveel!?
