Using any evidence that you are able to find, answer the following question: Should nuclear power be a significant part of the energy solution we use to attack the climate challenge?

Explanation / Answer

1)In 2015 efforts to create a state-by-state plan to create 100% renewable energy was there in US transition.Research were done in 139 countries whether these countries could be powered purely by wind, water and solar by the year 2050. It was done to examines the electrification and decarbonisation of transportation, heating, cooling, industry, agriculture, forestry and fishing. Results were positive as it was concluded that many countries would converted to renewable energy before 2050.
