If we're going to be serious about decarbonizing the bulk-power system, nuclear has to be part of the conversation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The whole idea of a nuclear system is to have a deterrent where we decide if we're going to use it.
I believe that nuclear needs to be a part of the solution if the U.S. really wants to be aggressive about reducing carbon.
We have every interest in seeing that the military use of nuclear power will be contained.
I hope nuclear becomes a part of the conversation, at the right time when we recognize the importance of that resource. I hope we can work that out as a country and figure out how we are going to put nuclear in the mix.
Nuclear power is not a miracle key for the future.
In order to be vigorously continued, nuclear power must be profoundly modified.
This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.
We must not let ourselves be swept off our feet in horror at the danger of nuclear power. Nuclear power is not infinitely dangerous. It's just dangerous, much as coal mines, petrol repositories, fossil-fuel burning and wind turbines are dangerous.
I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control.
The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense.
