Yes: build new reactors at scale

2 reasons0 sources

Governments back a sustained programme of new large reactors alongside renewables, with state financing or guaranteed prices to lower capital costs.

Reasons

  1. 1.

    A grid running mostly on wind and solar still needs low-carbon power that works on calm, dark winter days, and nuclear provides that without fossil fuels.

  2. 2.

    Over a full lifecycle, nuclear causes about as few deaths and as little CO₂ per unit of electricity as wind and solar.
