Nuclear energy is the key to solving the problem of global warming

Abstract
Renewable energy sources have been linked to climate solutions to the global warming of the Earth’s lower atmosphere, but another low-carbon energy source is additionally required for security of supply. It is gradually being realized that only nuclear power can claim this role.
