‘Revival’ Interrupted: World Nuclear Industry Won’t Sustain 2024 Growth, Struggles for Relevance as Renewables Surge

September 23, 2025 . . . . . (LINK to Report is below . . . .)

EXCERPT: "Although global nuclear generating capacity grew 2.9% to a record 2,663 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2024, the industry won’t likely be able to sustain that growth in the face of limited investment, aging power plants, continuing project delays, and overwhelming competition for cleaner, more affordable renewable energy, a leading industry analyst concluded this week. . . . .

In September 2020, with nuclear already losing ground to affordable renewables, Schneider tagged SMRs as “PowerPoint reactors, not detailed engineering, and it’s not the first time. They’ve been doing this for decades.”

“Nobody, not even industry, pretends they can produce anything before 2030. That’s the earliest,” he told The Energy Mix at the time. So “it’s already very simple—it’s much too late, and we don’t know if it’ll work or what it’ll cost.” . . . . ."
