Finland starts a new nuclear reactor and builds facility to store spent fuel for the next 100 years HotAir

It s an often heard complaint among conservatives that we d be more willing to take concerns about climate change seriously when the people making the complaints start taking it seriously. That can refer to people like Al Gore living in a mansion with a carbon footprint the size of Godzilla or to people who insist we need to stop using fossil fuels immediately while simultaneously ruling out one of the best alternatives: nuclear power.

But that kind of hypocrisy isn t the norm everywhere. Finland currently produces about 30% of its energy from four nuclear power plants that were constructed in the late 70s and early 80s. The country is now about the start producing energy from its fifth nuclear plant. After decades of work including long construction delays, loading of nuclear fuel at the new site started in March.
