According to a WWF position paper, “WWF has a vision for the future which phases out the use of fossil fuel and nuclear in the share of energy use across the globe.”
Call for action: Justice quotes from a Twitter posting by energy author Alex Epstein: “WWF is a ‘rabidly anti-nuclear organization’—meaning that it’s helping stop by far the most promising form of noncarbon energy. Tell @Apple to cancel this promotion and end its anti-nuclear efforts.”
Flawed energy policies: “Over-reliance on unreliable wind and solar has triggered short-term energy crises in Europe and California,” Justice writes. “Europe’s dependence on Russian fuel to generate instantaneous power when weather-dependent sources failed, while shutting down nuclear plants, has further constrained the West’s diplomacy with President Vladimir Putin waging war in Ukraine. The U.S. runs the risk of a similar dependency on Russian resources without diversifying its uranium supply to fuel the nation’s nuclear reactors.”
The environmentally sustainable solution: Justice continues that embracing nuclear "remains the only environmentally sustainable solution to a lower-carbon future, with [nuclear] plants requiring 300 to 400 times less land than that required to mass-produce wind and solar.”
