Summary
Denmark is reevaluating its 40-year-old ban on nuclear power, driven by challenges integrating renewables, support from tech companies, and renewed European interest in nuclear technology. Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen supports lifting the ban, acknowledging nuclear's potential despite economic pressures like inflation and supply-chain issues. Modular nuclear reactors are gaining traction for their cost savings and efficiency, aligning with broader European trends toward diversifying energy sources but requiring careful balancing of investments in both renewables and nuclear to ensure sustainability.
