answer text <p>There is a strong consensus in the global scientific community that nuclear energy represents one of the lowest carbon forms of baseload electricity generation.</p><p> </p><p /> <p>The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that the life cycle emissions associated with the generation of electricity from nuclear power groups are 16g CO<sub>2</sub> per kWh electricity produced. This is very low compared to the equivalent figure for electricity produced by natural gas turbines, which is in excess of 400g CO<sub>2</sub>/kWh, and similar to the IPCC's estimate for widespread non-baseload form of electricity generation, such as wind.</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p>The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology report ‘Carbon Footprint of Electricity Generation' states that the operation of the nuclear power station accounts for less than 1% of the total life cycle emissions of nuclear electricity generation.</p><p /> <p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p> </p><p>No such assessment has been possible. UK aid helps to finance the Palestinian Authority's fiscal deficit, which would significantly decrease if Israeli movement and access restrictions in the OPTs were lifted. The World Bank estimates that if Israeli restrictions were lifted in ‘Area C' of the West Bank alone, the Palestinian economy would expand by more than a third and potentially would not require international donor assistance.</p><p> </p> more like this
