Expert: Countries should consider nuclear to meet emission targets

Expert: Countries should consider nuclear to meet emission targets
Countries that fail to allocate funds for nuclear energy because of finances or politics are likely to fall short of emissions goals and be passed over for investment as firms construct facilities elsewhere, said Hans-Holger Rogner, an expert with the International Atomic Energy Agency. This comes after the agency raised its nuclear power forecasts for 2030, with Asian countries expected to lead that growth. Having other options to curb emissions is necessary while renewable-energy technologies are being improved, Rogner added. Reuters
