There is no doubt that decarbonization faces many obstacles. Financing and investment is a significant one—McKinsey researchhas shown that about $1 trillion a year in capital investment will be required for the United States to make the energy transition happen by 2050. That is about 4 percent of the United States’ GDP on average. Controlling green...
Nuclear power can play a significant role in the search for energy resilience. The power sector has to decarbonize—at present, it accounts for about 30 percent of global emissions, and electricity demand could triple by 2050, driven by increasing electrification and economic growth. Unlike renewables that offer an intermittent energy supply, nuclea...
