Dear Jonathon - I'm now watching your videos from your website. Plus blog. Great stuff!
Has there been any calculation over the weight of greenhouse gases emitted during the construction of a nuclear power station?
Or, its carbon footprint?
When would the amount of electricity generated outweigh the weight (or amount) of greenhouse gases emitted during construction? Or, is that impossible to calculate?
The thing is very high in greenhouse gas emissions during construction - like High Scam 2 and Metro trams - but very low when generating over the lifetime of the station (25 years?). When does the one cancel out the other? But then there must be some greenhouse gases emitted in decommissioning over the years!
The whole thing is counterproductive. And threatened by sea-level rise. And, totally unnecessary, as well if we only could go for PV on every suitable roof, every other renewables, energy efficiency and were much less greedy in our unsustainable lifestyles.
Live simply so that others may simply live means NO NUCLEAR, EVER!
Please advise - only if you have time, Jonathon. Many thanks and best wishes
