Nuclear, hydro and other methods of generating electricity do not result in GHG emissions.
lies to cool nuclear power plants we normally use water... because of the insane high temperatures 1 in a billion water particles (or less) turns into 0
3 which is ozone (which is the strongest GHG off all...) and while making thinks like solar panels and windmills
a lot off GHG are emitted...
So it just isn't that black and white...
Nuclear energy is the best option we have, to compensate for the energy problem we are facing though...
