Part 7/10:

Interestingly, as New York implements an aggressive approach toward fossil fuels, the U.S. is simultaneously moving to triple its nuclear energy capacity, an endeavor projected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars. This ambiguous expansion comes despite arguments that solar and battery solutions are substantially more cost-efficient alternatives to fossil fuel energy.

Notably, discussions around renewable energy, particularly solar and wind power, have gained momentum, with their costs sharply declining over the years. Many experts are questioning the necessity of nuclear energy in this changing landscape, suggesting that the focus should instead be on expanding solar technologies and battery storage to transition away from fossil fuels.
