#SierraClub was initially supportive of #nuclear power until 1970’s, then it was fiercely anti-nuclear, and it seems like they have now returned to reason. This is a quote from their latest “Demanding Better” report about environmentally friendly operations of computing cloud (read: data centers):
Clean energy standards (CES) are fundamentally technology-neutral, allowing for storage, geothermal, and even nuclear and high-performing carbon capture to participate, as cost-effective. Under this construct, novel technologies that provide system value for high renewable penetration, like long-duration storage, can gain market share and show value.
