Nuclear energy generates electricity by splitting atoms, producing no carbon emissions during operation, making it attractive for climate goals. However, it faces challenges including high construction costs, long build times, waste disposal concerns, and public safety perceptions. The debate centers on whether nuclear should receive substantially more government funding to meet clean energy targets, especially as data centers and AI infrastructure demand massive new electricity supplies.
