Today we will cover nuclear power. Nuclear power is unique among energy sources. It can be scaled up to very large power plants, it is firm power (available upon demand), and it produces no carbon dioxide while generating electricity. In 2022, nuclear generation actually declined by 4.4%.

Certainly, these renewable sources will continue to grow in importance, but in the short-term, we can’t expect coal-fired power plants to be replaced with intermittent renewables. However, nuclear power is a viable option for meeting this need. The biggest challenge is the cost and time to build new nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power is unique among energy sources. It can be scaled up to very large plants, it is firm power (available upon demand), and it produces no carbon dioxide while generating electricity. You have to wonder where things would stand today if not for the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It’s understandable.

Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are consistently outpacing the new deployment of fossil fuels and nuclear energy in the United States. In April 2022, wind and solar combined produced 17.96% more electricity than all of the country’s nuclear power plants, according to an analysis of EIA data by the SUN DAY Campaign.

Nuclear power is up to three times more expensive than wind or solar Summary - Costs of renewables continue to fall incrementally and are at a record low of around €40 per MWh. Nuclear power plants, especially in the West, are confronted with high construction costs, extreme delays and more stringent safety measures.

Any time I write about nuclear power, it evokes passionate responses from readers. That was certainly the case following my previous article, Nuclear Power Could Cut The World’s Carbon Emissions In Half. There is always a contingent who are convinced that all we need is solar power. Where is nuclear power growing?
