Nuclear: The ever-changing global clean energy workhorse

Nuclear power is finally beginning to be sufficiently recognized as the workhorse of the global clean energy sector. But it won’t look like it does now if it is going to achieve its full potential in anchoring a global clean energy system.

The virtues of the current nuclear fleet – namely its carbon-free power and 24/7 reliability – must be coupled with the ever-changing demands of our global energy industry. That includes new technologies that make it smaller and highly scalable for use in cities and remote areas and allow for high-temperature use to decarbonize heavy industrial processes.
