Apart from the fact that they are almost certainly responsible for climate change, will eventually run out, and they will get progressively more expensive as they become scarcer. Some sources of renewable energy are already providing cheaper methods of generating electricity...

Typical examples are wind and solar power and are also referred to as renewable energy sources. Many of these energy sources have become cheaper to produce and run than many fossil fuel powered energy sources. A key...

If thorium had been selected instead then there would have been no nuclear meltdowns because thorium reactors are self limiting and can’t run away. The energy released in nuclear fission generates heat which is then used to generate steam to drive a turbine...

The energy released in nuclear fission generates heat which is then used to generate steam to drive a turbine and...
