Should nuclear power expand?
Where they disagree: Mostly about priorities and cost: how much to weigh reliable low-carbon power against build times, budgets and waste storage.
“Build more reactors”
Nuclear plants supply steady, round-the-clock low-carbon electricity that wind and solar cannot yet provide alone.
“Put the money elsewhere”
New reactors often take a decade or more to build; wind, solar, storage and grid upgrades can be added much faster.
