The French nuclear giant Areva bought a company that taps the biggest nuclear energy source in the solar system: the sun.
Nuclear: Nuclear is the energy source for the majority of electric power generation for the long term.
FORBES: Why Shale Gas is Closing Coal Plants: So Why Do the Hippies Hate Shale?
Therefore, many countries choose nuclear energy as a source.
FORBES: U.N. Sec'y General on Chernobyl: 'More disasters likely'
Impressed by arguments that nuclear energy is a proven source of low-carbon power, and worried about the dependence on foreign fossil fuels caused by the decline of North Sea oil and gas, the government has been preparing the ground for a nuclear revival.
In China, wind energy has surpassed nuclear power to become the third largest energy source in the country.
It says it needs nuclear power as an alternative energy source to meet booming electricity demand and preserve its large oil and gas reserves for export.
Nevertheless, many environmentalists fiercely resist any moves to ease arbitrary, prohibitive barriers to the construction of the best non-carbon-dioxide-producing energy source of all: nuclear power plants.
Meanwhile an industry using deadly materials spread across more than 40 countries may be about to expand farther and wider, as from Venezuela to Vietnam governments contemplate nuclear power as a source of cleaner energy.
ECONOMIST: Preventing nuclear trafficking is easier than policing it
The energy release from nuclear fission is roughly a million times greater per unit weight than fossil fuels, which is why nuclear fission is such a compelling long term energy source.
FORBES: Explainer: What Caused The Incident At Fukushima-Daiichi
Thermoelectric coupling uses heat from the decay of a radioactive fuel (as opposed to the full-scale nuclear fission which powers a reactor on Earth) as its energy source.
ECONOMIST: A more efficient way to make electricity in spacecraft
Meanwhile, whatever happens with nuclear energy, solar power remains the most dynamic, fastest-growing source of clean, renewable energy and, indeed, of any energy source.
On earth, a magnetically confined plasma is what nuclear-fusion researchers wrestle with in their search for a clean source of energy.
No. 3 contains 32 MOX fuel rods, or about 5 percent of the total, according to Arjun Makhijani, president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, an anti-nuclear power organization which is considered a credible source of information.
FORBES: Japanese Official: Most Dangerous Reactor May Have Ruptured, Leaking Radiation
China stalled its production of dozens of new nuclear power stations, but has since returned to building out the clean-burning, but potentially hazardous, energy source.
