Description
Description | The article discusses the aging infrastructure, high costs, and stalled projects in Europe's nuclear power sector, highlighting that 122 GW of planned nuclear capacity has been scrapped and 68 GW of reactors retired. It also notes that 90% of the remaining nuclear fleet is over 35 years old, raising concerns about reliability. Meanwhile, renewable energy projects, specifically wind and utility-scale solar, are surging with over 600 GW in pre-construction or construction phases across Europe, significantly outpacing nuclear capacity under construction. |
