Nuclear energy generates electricity by splitting atoms, producing no carbon emissions but raising concerns about waste disposal, safety, and construction costs. As countries race to decarbonize their grids, nuclear advocates argue it should anchor clean energy systems because it provides reliable baseload power 24/7, unlike intermittent renewables. The debate hinges on whether nuclear's high upfront costs and long build times make it practical for meeting urgent climate targets, or whether renewables and storage offer faster, cheaper alternatives.
