Lies, damned lies, and energy statistics - why nuclear is so much less than it claims to beCrumpton, Neil http://www.theecologist.org/campaigning/2884401/lies_damned_lies_and_energy_statistics_why_nuclear_is_so_much_less_than_it_claims_to_be.htmlPublisher: The Ecologist Date Written: 26/05/2015 Year Published: 2015 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX17539 It's odd how often the contribution of nuclear energy is overstated by mixing up 'energy' and 'electricity', while a similar trick understates the importance of renewables like wind and solar.
