A good TED Talk with the speaker going over the data of global green energy supply/demand. China/India's initiatives to build the next generation of nuclear has halted, mainly out of lack of demand and lack of released data.
The result has been a net loss of green energy globally, and an even greater loss going forward. Nuclear reactors simply provide more carbon-free energy than other renewables by several orders of magnitude, you simply cannot solve the green energy crisis without a heavy investment in nuclear technology.
Unfortunately that investment is hampered by an irrational terror of nuclear energy, even though all the usual candidates for why "nuclear is bad" have been thoroughly and consistently debunked.
