By Shannon James Over the past year, the federal government has doubled down on nuclear energy, initiating policies meant to fast-track “advanced” reactor deployment and prop up the domestic nuclear industry. Supporters call it a “nuclear renaissance,”but let’s be clear: this is not a beacon of progress. It’s a high-risk, high-cost gamble that threatens public […]
