Graphs Show- Nuclear Energy is not needed for Clean Energy Production

Renewable Energy Head-to-Head with Nuclear for Clean Energy Production.

Last July we wrote about the North Carolina study that showed solar
power to be cheaper than power promised by planned nuclear
construction in that state.

It now seems that, on the national scale, renewable energy production
has practically caught up with nuclear. The December 2010 Monthly
Energy Review, published by the U.S. Energy Information
Administration, shows that each of these power sources was responsible
for some 11% of primary energy production during the first nine months
of 2010. The Review also shows that, while nuclear output dropped
during this period, non-hydro renewables increased their output by
over 11%.

U.S. Primary Energy Production, Jan-Sep 2010
renewables*…..10.9%
nuclear……………11.4%
fossil fuels………77.7%
*biomass/biofuels, geothermal, solar, hydro and wind
