There seem to be three main strands to this: one that conventional energy sources are mainly in unsettled areas of the world and therefore possibly unsure in the future, two that nuclear power does not contribute to global warming, and three that many existing nuclear plants are quite old and will eventually have to be decommissioned, probably due to concerns about pressure vessel integrity, and therefore will need to be replaced by new plants unless more coal is to be used.

How many less tons of greenhouse gases are emitted from nuclear power plants?

Nuclear power plants emit significantly fewer greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuel power plants. On average, nuclear plants emit around 2-3 million tons less CO2 per year for each gigawatt of power produced compared to coal-fired power plants. This reduction helps to mitigate the impacts of climate change.


Compare and contrast coal and nuclear power plant?

Coal and nuclear power plants are both used to generate electricity, but they differ in terms of energy source and environmental impact. Coal power plants burn coal to produce heat, while nuclear power plants use nuclear reactions to generate heat. Nuclear power plants produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal plants, but they create radioactive waste that needs to be carefully stored. Coal power plants are cheaper to build and operate, but they contribute to air pollution and climate change.
