NUCLEAR IS THE FUTURE

Our renewable energy sources are essentially indirect nuclear fusion. Without baseload renewables, such as geothermal and hydropower, we will need a massive economic investment into grid storage for wind and solar power. That cost is something nuclear competes with.

Most importantly, the possibilities of nuclear energy make it the ideal future. We are now developing fast breeder fission reactors and massive stellarators for hydrogen fusion, which make backup gas turbines look like clunky, inefficient and polluting Middle Ages tools. YUSUF KHAN DURBAN
