It's time for better. It's time for nuclear energy.

Ultimately, we are the Green party. We should be willing to do everything we can to stop the climate crisis from worsening. Instead, misguided opposition to nuclear is actively keeping fossil fuel power stations running up and down the country.

Luckily, we can change this! The Green party is completely democratic, and every member has a say in policy.

The public knows this too. The Green Party’s opposition to nuclear consistently ranks as one of their least popular policies.

We agree that renewables are great. But if we want to phase out fossil fuels, we need a co-ordinated effort which brings renewables and nuclear together. This is the ONLY way to protect our planet from climate change, and GET RID of fossil fuels.

It is also claimed that being pro nuclear energy is inseparable from being pro nuclear weapons. This is just not true.

The 2 things are COMPLETELY different, they just rely on a similar reaction. It would be like saying supporting wind energy means you also support tornadoes!

In reality, nuclear is one of the safest energy sources! Its low emissions and reliability make it worth the money.

When the weather isn't right, only nuclear can still provide electricity. Without it, we do not have the storage capacity to keep the grid balanced.

Despite the stats, current Green party policy says nuclear power is unsafe, expensive, and too slow for the pace of the climate crisis. The section of their website condemning nuclear power is actually bigger than the similar section on fossil fuels.

And it doesn’t end there!

Nuclear land usage AND waste production both come in lower than any other electricity source, whether renewable or fossil fuel.

Nuclear is available 24/7, regardless of weather. Its lifetime greenhouse gas emissions are the lowest of all major sources, and it is also one of the safest per unit of energy produced.

Its fuel efficiency per gram is literally off the charts compared to the big 3 fossil fuels.

However, in that same time frame, natural gas usage has stayed more or less the same, while nuclear has DECREASED.

Nuclear is completely carbon-free, and if we want net-zero, why are we allowing it to decline, with natural gas in its place?

There is hope. Thanks to efforts from environmentalists all around the World, renewables have grown massively, becoming more efficient and cheaper as time goes on. Coal has been almost phased out of UK energy production with the last coal power station in the UK closing in 2024.

2024 was the warmest year on record: 1.54°C above the pre-industrial baseline temperature. This means massive habitat damage, ice caps melting, entire coral reefs bleached and destroyed, and 6-8 inches in sea level rising in just the last 100 years.
