From The Limiting Factor.
There’s extreme bearish and bullish outlooks on Nuclear Energy. So who is right? This is the first video in a new series on nuclear energy, and today I’ll be deconstructing the bear case. In future videos I’ll walk you through nuclear in the context of ultra cheap generation like solar, and the potential of next generation nuclear energy technologies like small modular reactors.
