Science: Is nuclear energy "green"?

4 minutes

☢️ A few weeks ago, the European Commission decided to label nuclear energy as “green” in an effort to meet the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement (https://youtu.be/_OUUSz3sPf0), and to reduce Europe’s dependence on foreign oil and gas. This decision left a lot of people aghast. The green parties are calling for a revision. Aren't there better ways to save energy and save the planet?
