produce smoke. Nuclear power is considered carbon-free and produces more electricity than other renewables like solar and wind. Proponents of nuclear power often measure its economic prowess in kilowatts. Nuclear power plants produce more kilowatts than coal‚ wind or solar for fewer cents. As more plants are built‚ it’s expected that construction costs will come down‚ making the price of nuclear-generated electricity that much more attractive. Millions of people in poorer countries have limited access
