Nuclear power has been gaining more interest and attention at global climate summits, as a key weapon in the fight against climate change. But climate advocates say it's still suffering from a terrible reputation.

Nuclear power is expected to hit record levels in 2025. Calling it "clean energy," advocates are pushing for the controversial power source to play a greater role in global plans to tackle climate change.Nuclear power releases no carbon emissions during ...

One of the factors driving the rising appetite for nuclear power is the stunning growth of AI, which relies on data centers requiring a huge amount of energy. Last year brought new interest from tech giants looking to nuclear as a potential solution to the AI power crunch.

These shifts have been great for existing nuclear plants. We’re seeing efforts to boost their power output, extend the lifetime of old reactors, and even reopen facilities that have shut down. That’s good news for climate action, because nuclear power plants produce consistent electricity with very low greenhouse-gas emissions.
