6. Why don’t we just use renewables?

Renewables like hydro, solar, and wind are crucial for reducing carbon emissions. But here's the thing: they can be a bit... intermittent. Meaning they don't produce power 24/7.

That's where nuclear power plants come in! They're like the steady backbone of our energy system, providing baseload power that runs continuously, rain or shine.

Current estimates suggest we can't achieve our climate goals without nuclear energy. To reach net zero by 2050, we need the reliability and low-carbon power that nuclear brings to the table.

So, when it comes to fighting climate change, let's not overlook the power of nuclear energy. It's a vital piece of the puzzle for a cleaner, greener future!
