Fusion investment isn’t a waste , it’s long-term R&D. But what’s missing now is scaling fission, which already works and can decarbonize heavy industry today.

Ontario’s higher bills come from relying more on imports and maintenance delays, not from nuclear itself. When reactors run efficiently, they deliver some of the lowest-cost, most stable power in North America.

It’s encouraging to see nuclear entering Australia’s political debate again. No serious net-zero plan works without stable baseload power in the mix.
