Abstract

The fossil fuel burning is the main culprit behind global warming
which resulted in greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions led by
carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, key contributor to environmental
pollution . The rising CO2 emissions intensity and global warming
complexities have raised the importance to focus on alternative
energy generation options. The serious concerns over fossil fuel
consumption, issue of energy security, and GHG emissions
challenges have brought attention to clean energy sources among
public and policy analysts as well. Clean energy options (nuclear
energy and renewable energy) have emerged as alternate energy
source and effective tools to combat the hazards of climate
change.
