Ocasio-Cortez “Green New Deal” sets a goal of shifting the nation to 100 percent “clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources, within 10 years.” Her office released a document that said that “The Green New Deal will not include investing in new nuclear power plants and will transition away from nuclear to renewable power sources only.”
One hundred percent renewable power sources only within 10 years is a pie in the sky technological fantasy.
From 1970 to 1990, France and Sweden built nuclear plants that replace coal and oil burning ones to produce clean electricity. Germany will spent over $580 billion by 2025 on renewable, while shutting down its nuclear plants. Germany big shift to renewable has resulted so far in 50% increase in electricity prices and no reduction of emissions (
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?).
Germany government made the decision of shutting down nuclear power plants and burn more coal. Germany CO2 emissions are 10 higher than France.
France obtain about 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy and is the world larger exporter of electricity due to the low cost of nuclear power generation. In December 2017 the French President stated that nuclear is “the most carbon-free way to produce electricity with renewables.” A new nuclear plant will start operation in May 2019 (
