Part 8/9:

The ongoing discussions about nuclear energy reveal a strong desire among industry advocates for a renewed commitment to this clean energy source. However, whether this enthusiasm translates into real action remains uncertain. While many believe that several retired nuclear plants may reopen in the near future, larger societal, regulatory, and financial challenges must be navigated.

As we look towards a future where climate change is increasingly pressing, the potential of fusion technology must also be considered. Investing approximately $7.1 billion towards commercializing fusion presents a promising alternative, suggesting that the evolution of nuclear technology may not be confined strictly to fission processes.
