2am STEM - Episode 4: Nuclear Energy In The Renewables' Era - a podcast by Burn FM

In recent years, humanity has pledged to take action on climate change. Dozens of countries made remarkable commitments at COP26 to tackle the crisis through improvements to climate plans, transitioning away from fossil fuels and shifting to clean electricity. Following the conference, the European Commission has classified natural gas and nuclear energy as sustainable, bringing controversy. In the UK, the government's Sizewell C power plant investment further fuelled disagreement.

Although being the safest zero-emission energy source, nuclear power has been bearing a bad name for years, following the Fukushima and Chornobyl power plant disasters. In this episode of the 2 am STEM Podcast we discuss the future of nuclear energy is, and how it compares to renewables.
