My forty year career was spent doing nuclear research as a scientist in universities and at a US National Laboratory

Anyone who is serious about a sustainable, carbon-free, energy future will have to accept that nuclear is an inevitable part of our future energy mix. I am agnostic about the specific technology choices, but I am not agnostic about math. The math says we will need an “all of the above” energy mix with wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen, and nuclear. There are trade offs with each, but only nuclear meets our demand for safe, carbon-free, 24/7 baseload capacity. Many environmental scientists and advocates have come to accept and support this simple fact. For a look at the math, I recommend “Sustainable Energy Without The Hot Air” by David MacKay of Cambridge University. It is freely available on the internet. Also recommended - Bill Gates’ “How To Avoid A Climate Disaster.”
