President Trump just signed four executive orders designed to cut red tape and boost nuclear energy production in the U.S. The move aims to streamline regulations and encourage growth in the sector, though critics may question the environmental and safety implications.
Editor’s Note: Nuclear power is a contentious topic—supporters see it as a clean energy solution, while opponents worry about risks like waste disposal and accidents. Trump’s orders could speed up nuclear projects, but the long-term impact depends on how regulators, industry, and the public respond. If it works, it might help reduce reliance on fossil fuels; if rushed, it could reignite old debates over safety. Either way, it’s a big shift in energy policy worth watching.
