One of the most heartening announcements to have come out of Budget 2024 is @narendramodi's push for nuclear. India's goal of 500 GW clean power cannot be realised without it. A single nuclear plant powers 700,000 homes while emitting less CO₂ than a hybrid car. Climate Change is real. But activism must be rescued from the talons of the loony Left.
1. (Nuclear plants) and Nuclear power as share of total power consumed:
France (58): 71.7%
Sweden (8): 40.3%
Switzerland (5): 37.7%
USA (99): 19.3%
Russia (37): 17.9%
India (22): 3.0%.
3.0% is pitiful. We must make it 15% by 2030.
2. Power generation is the single largest contributor (~30%) to global emissions. Nuclear power as share of total power consumed:
France: 71.7%
India: 3.0%
Carbon footprint as share of total world footprint:
France: 1% (292 MMT)
India: 7% (2076 MMT)
It's a no contest. A push for developed India is incomplete without a push for nuclear.
