Nuclear Power Is the Best Climate-Change Solution by Far
By M. ben Manachem. Israel has the technology and know-how to contribute to the nuclear industry and become a major worldcenter for SNR distribution. However, to do so we need to begin by implementing this “at home”.
I am somewhat responsible for the negative attitude in Israel to nuclear power for electricity (I was the advisor to the Government that lobbied against it some 40 years ago). The technology at that time was far different from what exists today.
It is time for Israel to “get over it” and embrace this. We could combine with the UAE and Bahrain to commercialise this and capture a very significant portion of the world market.
Its total greenhouse-gas emissions are 1/700th those of coal—and one-fourth those of solar.
