Nuclear power's contribution to global energy production was about 4% in 2023. This is a little more than wind power, which provided 3.5% of global energy in 2023. [167] Nuclear power's share of global electricity production has fallen from 16.5% in 1997, in large part because the economics of nuclear power have become more difficult. [168]
Nuclear power stocks are surging in the early days of 2025 amid new deal activity, with more growth on the way, analysts say. Shares of Constellation Energy climbed 4% on Friday, extending ...
