The economics of nuclear power and climate change mitigation policies
The events of March 2011 at the nuclear power complex in Fukushima, Japan, raised questions about the safe operation of nuclear power plants with early retirement of existing nuclear power plants being debated in the policy arena and considered by regulators. Also the future of building new nuclear power plants is highly uncertain. Should nuclear power policies become more restrictive, one pote...

متن کاملReframing nuclear power in the UK energy debate: nuclear power, climate change mitigation and radioactive waste.
In the past decade, human influence on the climate through increased use of fossil fuels has become widely acknowledged as one of the most pressing issues for the global community. For the United Kingdom, we suggest that these concerns have increasingly become manifest in a new strand of political debate around energy policy, which reframes nuclear power as part of the solution to the need for ...
متن کاملEnvironmental and Technology Policies for Climate Mitigation
We assess different policies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting the innovation and diffusion of renewable energy. We evaluate the relative performance of policies according to incentives provided for emissions reduction, efficiency, and other outcomes. We also assess how the nature of technological progress—whether it occurs through learning by doing or R&D investment, and the ...
متن کاملTechnology Prizes for Climate Change Mitigation
We analyze whether technology inducement prizes could be a useful complement to standard research grants and contracts in developing climate change mitigation technologies. We find that there are important conceptual advantages to using inducement prizes in certain circumstances. These conceptual inferences are borne out by an examination of the track record of prizes inducing research into pub...
