A nuclear energy renaissance?
Update: 2024-09-12
Description
The world needs emissions-free electricity that is available when and where we want it, rather than on Mother Nature’s schedule as wind and solar generation are. Nuclear power has the potential to be that source. In this episode, host Samantha Gross talks with former U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernie Moniz, who says that fission reactors, the kind in use today, have the potential to become safer and less expensive. And fusion reactors, long the holy grail of carbon-free energy, are quickly moving from science fiction toward reality.
