| Popis | Nuclear energy remains a contested yet essential component of the global energy landscape, oscillating between periods of optimism and crisis. While it offers low-carbon, stable electricity generation and the potential to enhance energy security, its trajectory is shaped by regulatory hurdles, geopolitical dependencies, public skepticism, and economic constraints. This chapter explores nuclear energy's dual nature as both a stabilizing force and a source of turbulence. It examines historical patterns of expansion and decline, its resilience amid crises, and the persistent challenges of cost overruns, delays, and policy uncertainty. Additionally, the chapter analyzes nuclear energy's role in the broader energy transition, assessing the avenues for future utilization of the technology. By addressing these complexities, the text provides a nuanced perspective on the uncertain future of nuclear energy and its evolving place in a rapidly changing global energy system. |
