Steve Kidd, talks about this in his latest article. For those who read his articles, he is critical of the nuclear industry's failure to address itself in the coming energy transition...

"MANY OF MY ARTICLES SEEM to start with the statement that “nuclear power stands at the crossroads”. This has been the case for the 14 years that I’ve been writing for this magazine and remains true today. It may still constitute an appropriate summary of the state of the industry 20 years from now. My feeling, however, is the next few years will determine the fate of nuclear power, one way or another".

But he goes on to make a rather interesting opinion...this is not a columnist given to hyperbole...

"It is my belief that the case for large scale centralised power generation will eventually be recast. It may take 20-30 years, but disadvantages of renewable power sources will mean that they will be rejected as a valid energy solution. Wind and solar will likely retain an important position in power generation, particularly in developing countries. Elsewhere, they may be increasingly regarded as providing no more than fuel-saving for natural gas stations, when the wind blows and sun shines."

It's worth mentioning that Steve Kidd will write his last three pieces from Oct-Dec specifically on the topic:

"I’m retiring from writing these columns in December and will spend this and the following three outlining how nuclear may still achieve growth rather than a slow death".
