Nuclear power generation to reach record high in 2025, IEA forecasts

Good news! China & India (and other Asia) are significantly expanding their nuclear power generation in the coming years, while Western countries remain rather stagnant!

So called renewable energy (in particular wind power) is the greatest boondoggle and scandal of our time

"... Output from nuclear power plants is expected to rise by about 3 per cent both this year and next to 2,915TWh, overtaking the previous peak of 2,809TWh in 2021, and by a further 1.5 per cent in 2026, the IEA said.
Growth will be driven by new reactors in China and India as well as the return of plants in France that were shut down last year for maintenance. ..."

"... with more consumers using technologies such as electric vehicles and heat pumps. Electricity accounted for 20% of final energy consumption in 2023, up from 18% in 2015, though meeting the world’s climate goals would require electrification to advance significantly faster in the coming years. ..."

Nuclear power generation to reach record high next year, IEA forecasts (behind paywall, but here is alternative link) Majority of new capacity over next three years expected to come from China and India

Clean sources of generation are set to cover all of the world’s additional electricity demand over the next three years (IEA) Renewables are growing rapidly and nuclear power is on track to reach new all-time high next year, enabling low-emissions generation to outpace robust electricity demand growth
