Environmentalists against the return of nuclear option worldwide

Diário de Leiria30 August 2026 at 17:00

Environmentalists from around the world are positioning themselves against the return of nuclear energy as a global energy option. Environmental organizations argue that nuclear energy is less efficient than renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind.

According to these organizations, the high costs represent one of the main obstacles to the expansion of nuclear energy. Additionally, environmentalists highlight concerns about radioactive waste and the risks associated with the operation of nuclear power plants.

This opposing stance from these entities comes at a time when some countries are also reconsidering nuclear energy as an option to address climate change. However, according to the article, environmental organizations insist that renewable energy is the better choice.
