Big money Goes Into Nuclear Energy As Renewable Investment Plunges

David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss how recent legislation includes notable incentives for nuclear energy, marking a significant shift in public and political perception. Just a few years ago, nuclear was controversial; now, it’s being championed as a long-term solution. However, Callaway notes that key technologies like small modular reactors and fusion are still unproven at scale, creating a gap between current energy demand and the distant promise of nuclear innovation.
