Sama Bilbao y Leon says ‘the reality is nuclear #energy has been here all along, and currently it is the largest source of #carbon for energy in those countries, the second in the world, just behind, hydropower. So what is new now is the interest in new #nuclear.’

00:00 The reality is nuclear energy has been here all along.
00:03 And currently, it is the largest source of carbon-free energy in the OECD countries,
00:09 the second in the world, just behind hydropower.
00:14 So what is new now is the interest in new nuclear.
00:18 And I think that that's driven by two reasons.
00:21 One of them is energy security.
00:23 I think that with the geopolitical upheaval that we have right now,
00:29 many countries are looking at their energy independence and energy security.
00:34 And nuclear obviously is 24/7 carbon-free and is independent on geopolitics,
00:40 the sea zone of the time of the day.
00:42 And then the other thing is definitely the carbon-free nature.
00:46 Countries have become very, very concerned
00:49 about being able to meet their goals and their targets for the Paris Agreement.
00:54 So nuclear certainly is going to be a key piece of that puzzle.
