Nuclear energy is experiencing newfound optimism, with plans for restarting old plants and potential developments attracting attention as demand for energy surges.
Mark Nelson expresses the excitement around nuclear energy, highlighting its efficiency: 'It's an enormous amount of energy...without emitting carbon, 24/7 and can last a hundred years or more at a single power plant.'
Microsoft's $1.6 billion investment to restart Three Mile Island illustrates a potential nuclear comeback, aiming to power its expanding data centers with emissions-free electricity.
Critics like Kevin Kamps argue that claims of a nuclear renaissance are exaggerated, emphasizing past cycles of optimism as reasons for skepticism about the industry's future.
