World Nuclear Generation 1973 – 2005, Billion kWh Source: International Atomic Energy Agency 1 One billion kWh from nuclear avoids about one million tons of carbon dioxide. Updated: 6/06 World nuclear generation avoids more than 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide each year since

Emissions Reductions in Perspective The UNFCCC estimates that the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) will generate 1.2 billion tons of emission reductions by the end of 2012 Worldwide, nuclear power avoids the emissions of around 2.6 billion tons of CO 2 annually Source: UNFCCC CDM Statistics ( and International Energy Agency. Emissions avoided by nuclear power are calculated using an average fossil fuel emissions rate that is weighted by the ratio of projected coal and gas generation.

U.S. Electric Power Industry CO 2 Avoided Million Metric Tons, 2006 Source: Emissions avoided are calculated using regional and national fossil fuel emissions rates from the Environmental Protection Agency and plant generation data from the Energy Information Administration. Updated: 4/07

One of Bill Gates New Interests? Gates is investing in a project inside Myhrvold's Intellectual Ventures LLC, which is working on a new type of nuclear reactor that would use fuels other than enriched uranium -- including spent fuel from existing reactors. The idea is to create a nuclear reactor that is simpler and cheaper than current reactors, and generates clean power without waste or proliferation problems, Myhrvold said.
