Nuclear power is a proven technology that can play a bigger role in addressing the climate change challenge. We look at what industry leaders can do to help.
“Today, nuclear power plants can cost as much as $10 billion for a 1500 megawatt (MW) plant and take a decade to construct. Neither needs to be the case, but at present both are part of the data of plants that are and have been built”,he toldClimate News Network. “The climate ...
Nuclear power can play a significant role in fulfilling the world’s climate change promises. But this can only happen if the industry meets the challenge of expanding efficiently and cost-effectively.Chad Cramer is an associate partner in McKinsey’s Columbus, Ohio office; ...

the shift is not universal. It is a change mirrored in Congress and among the public. In the face of the existential risk of climate change, there has been a significant reconsideration of nuclear energy and, I believe, it will lead to the widespread deployment of a new generation of advan...
There remains one piece in the jigsaw and that is to abandon climate change as a prime argument for supporting a much higher use of nuclear power to satisfy rapidly-rising world power needs. This immediately sounds like heresy. The mooted nuclear renaissance in the early years of this century...
