Can nuclear save us from the next energy crisis?

Keir Starmer’s Labour government may be planning to build wind and solar farms in abundance, but these sources are neither reliable nor cheap.

The infrastructure to store renewable energy, for when the weather goes wrong, just isn’t there.

Small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) and advanced modular reactors (AMRs) offer a clean, cheap solution to energy woes.

AMRs use novel fuels and cooling systems that could, potentially, radically reduce energy costs.

Unless the government gets serious about nuclear power, we are going to face a genuine energy emergency.

The future could be bright, if only we embraced the atom, says Ruari McCallion .

He tweets @RuariJM on Twitter : 'It's time to reckon with this reality'.
