A nuclear energy renaissance?

In an episode of the Brookings Climate Sense podcast, hosted by Samantha Gross (director of the Brookings Energy Security and Climate Initiative), EFI Foundation CEO Ernest J. Moniz discussed how the climate crisis has renewed interest in nuclear power. Moniz said that nuclear power was a zero-carbon, reliable energy source that could counterbalance more intermittent sources, such as wind or solar: “It’s power that’s available when we want it, when we need it, and where we need it.”
