+There are examples of nuclear plants closing in the past, and carbon emissions risingin those regions. For example, afterSouthern California Edison officially closed its San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in Pendleton, Calif., in 2012, in-state carbon emissions in the electricity sector increased approximately 10 million metric tons, or 24 percent, the following year. The electricity was replaced with renewable resources and natural gas generation, Vine said, according to data from the California Environmental Protection Agency. |
|
38 |
+Likewise, Entergy~'s Vermont Yankee NuclearPower Plant in Vernon, Vt., closed in 2014, and as a result, carbon emissionsin the electricity sector increased approximately 1.4 million metric tons, or 5 percent, from 2014 to 2015, according to Marcia Blomberg, a spokeswoman for ISO New England, which operates the electric grid across the six New England states. |
|
39 |
+There have been similar emission increases across the globe after nuclear plants have closed. For example, in Japan, after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor disaster occurred in March 2011, the Japanese energy-related carbon emissions increased nearly 10 percentfrom 2010 to 2013 after the government progressively shut down its nuclear reactors, Vine said. |
|
40 |
+Similarly, Germany had 17 reactors before Fukushima, and then shut down eight reactors in March 2011. The country~'s emissions had been steadily declining since 1990, but have been essentially flat from 2010-2015, Vine said. They increased from 2012 to 2013, fell in 2014 and were up again slightly in 2015. |
