Introduction Today, a Man has the opportunity of uncontrolled influence on the environment and climate, both globally and locally. In general, such changes are associated with various ways of obtaining energy generated for the operation of human civilization     Nuclear power station.                                               Hydroelectric power station.     Deforestation.                                                            The results of ameliorators’ work. Agriculture, deforestation around the world and other inconsiderate activities of mankind have a role to play in this. But a Man can not ensure a positive change in the climate or only the temperature conditions of his existence yet, except for air conditioning of premises,

Can Renewables Replace Nuclear Power?

Most of the EU’s 211 operational nuclear plants were built in the 1970s and 1980s and were designed to last around 40 years, so many are due to close. But with the EU committed to decarbonising its energy sector, and nuclear power able to act as a low carbon source providing electricity around the clock, policymakers face a choice: either spend billions eking out a few extra years of generation, or close the plants and build potentially expensive replacements. The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2014 suggests that without swift measures, nuclear power in Europe could be entering its twilight years. It warns that unless policymakers make immediate plans to replace ageing plants, by the mid-2050s, nuclear power across the globe could become a thing of the past. Even if the plants’ lives were extended by ten years, Europe could still face a nuclear power crunch sometime in the 2030s.  Ageing plants Forty years is a typical lifespan for a nuclear power plant built in the
