Is nuclear power a climate saviour or a costly distraction?
With climate deadlines looming, one camp says we need nuclear's reliable, carbon-free power now; another says it's too slow and expensive, and the money should go to renewables.
The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.
Supporters argue nuclear is clean, dependable 'baseload' power that emits no CO2 while running, with decades of operating know-how — and that hitting climate targets is impossible without it.
Critics counter that new reactors are too slow and costly to matter for the climate fight, carry safety and waste risks, and crowd out faster, cheaper wind and solar.
