FCUUF - Nuclear is needed in the push to net-zero emissions Barclays says

Barclays believes investors are overlooking a key source in the push to decarbonization: nuclear energy.Barclays notes that nuclear output is not influenced by weather conditions and seasonality; nuclear waste is less than the waste from retired solar panels, wind turbine blades and lithium ion batteries; and nuclear power does not need the storage solutions required by renewable energy.In the big safety issue, all nuclear accidents have occurred in earlier-generation plants, Barclays says."Advanced nuclear reactors and proposed small modular reactors do not rely on power to drive safety systems. Instead, they depend on the laws of physics (gravity, convection, heat transfer) to protect the core in the event of an accident. These designs should provide even better safety statistics than the historical comparables," Barclays says.In nuclear news today, Bill Gates' advanced nuclear reactor company TerraPower LLC and PacifiCorp, owned by Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway ([[BRK.A]], [[BRK.B]]), have selected Wyoming to launch the
