Can the US triple its nuclear energy capacity?
Briefly

The Biden administration recently released a plan to significantly increase nuclear energy in the US, targeting 200 gigawatts of new capacity by 2050, despite potential political uncertainties.
The nuclear industry is currently receiving a wave of bipartisan support and has found allies in big tech, which increases its chances of seeing the new roadmap through.
Nuclear energy contributes nearly half of the nation's carbon pollution-free power, positioning it as a crucial player alongside renewables in the U.S. electricity mix.
Environmental concerns linger regarding uranium mining and nuclear waste, yet the Biden administration advocates nuclear as a solution to generate emission-free electricity and stabilize energy supply.
