Big Tech Backs Nuclear Expansion: Pledges to Triple Global Capacity by 2050
Nuclear Fusion can Bring Changes with Zero Emissions Globally
By Shubhendra Anand , 18 March, 2025
The recovery of nuclear power plants is being accelerated as multiple projects for restarting them are scheduled for 2024. According to the analysts, the increase in rehabilitation takes place because nuclear power produces electricity without any emission, its cost and availability are stable, and because of an awakening realization of electricity's value among European nations.
As a result, there are nuanced views regarding the nuclear revival. On the one hand, nuclear power is an economically effective and advanced electricity generation. Nuclear energy has to be one of the three pillars of every decarbonization strategy if carbon neutrality is not to remain a fantasy by 2050. The minimization of harmful greenhouse gas emissions has been stated as the decarbonization target. However, some critics cite nuclear power plants' high capital costs and completion uncertainties. They also express other issues regarding radioactive waste, decommissioning, and lead time.Moreover, other specialists view nuclear energy as neither the lowest cost nor the rapidest energy source, stressing that sustainable energy storage facilities and sources are cheaper and more amenable to scaling up. Nuclear power creates electricity with no emissions. Nuclear energy offers a potential solution to energy production. The development of nuclear power improves energy security and lowers reliance on conventional energy sources.
The fact remains that no new energy sources, such as nuclear fusion, will take center stage in the clean energy economy requirements. However, there will have to be governmental involvement, union with private business and supervisory bodies so that clean nuclear projects do not face insurmountable obstacles. All in all, the nuclear power plant reactivation discussions are complex and diverse. On the one hand, there are advantages; on the other hand, problems require solutions.
