OM DETTA AVSNITT

While President Donald Trump seems intent on doing everything he can to revive the coal industry, nuclear energy appears to be enjoying a resurgence in popularity, driven largely by power-hungry data centers.

What’s on the table to address this need? Allison Macfarlane, director of the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs at the University of British Columbia, joins The Excerpt to boil it all down.
