it's been a rough decade for nuclear, but i'm glad to see most of the world community still recognize the utility of nuclear energy--and to a lesser extent the necessity of preserving the existing nuclear capacity of the world when it comes to achieving climate goals--if nothing else. it might not be cost effective to build more nuclear capacity at this point, but even with renewables booming shutting down nuclear plants that exist is almost always still replacing a carbon-neutral energy source with carbon-heavy sources.
