AES Corporation CEO Andrés Gluski said the "euphoria" over nuclear power has been a "little overblown."
Some Wall Street analysts have predicted a nuclear renaissance as power demand increases thanks to artificial intelligence, data centers, re-industrialization and the electrification of the vehicle fleet. Nuclear provides reliable, carbon-free energy, though new projects have long lead times and are expensive.
