Some may not consider nuclear energy to be technically green as it generates highly concentrated but radioactive waste. However, it generates extremely low greenhouse gas emissions (none in production and low in life cycle). Therefore, we argue that nuclear should be a significant part of the solution in the quest to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and there should be more investment in nuclear power generation.
