I see strong for or against support for nuclear energy, and realised I have absolutely no idea where I stand because I know nothing about it, other than some locations now synonymous with nuclear disasters, and a few conspiracy theories.
As part of my gradual learning, I've started here: HolonIQ's Nuclear Deep Dive - The search for near-limitless clean energy generation.
It's obviously skewed in the for direction, but it's a start. If nothing else, I appreciate how dense-on-graphs and light-on-text the article goes.
Something that caught my attention was the frankness about it being non-renewable in the very first line:
Nuclear energy is a low carbon and non-renewable source of energy that contributes to approximately 10% of global electricity generated.
If it's something you've been wondering about too, I hope it helps as a kick-off point.
