In this episode of The Debate, we confront one of the biggest questions in the fight against climate change: is nuclear energy our clean-power breakthrough, or an expensive and dangerous gamble? Supporters argue that nuclear plants deliver enormous amounts of reliable, low-carbon electricity around the clock, using far less land than many other energy sources and avoiding the weather dependence of wind and solar. Critics counter that nuclear power comes with enormous construction costs, unresolved questions about storing radioactive waste, the risk of catastrophic accidents, and technology that can contribute to weapons proliferation.

Go head-to-head over whether the need for dependable clean energy outweighs the environmental, financial, and security risks. Can nuclear power help build a stable low-carbon future, or should the world put its energy behind safer, faster renewable alternatives?
