  In the course of the energy transition, energy generation from nuclear power
- through nuclear fission and perhaps in the future through nuclear fusion - is
often proposed as an alternative or supplement to renewable energy sources.
There are already good reasons why electricity generation from nuclear energy
is significantly more expensive than other forms of generation, while
increasing dryness as a result of climate change is generally calling into
question the reliability of thermal power plants. Nuclear energy is therefore
unlikely to play a role in a future energy supply that relies on low costs and
reliability.
