Rep. French Hill of Arkansas writes on The Hill that in order to reach domestic and global emissions goals, we need to build back nuclear.
- In addition to being safe and extremely reliable, nuclear energy is our largest source of carbon-free energy.
- Nuclear energy should be deployed to developing nations to allow them to have clean and reliable power.
- Any serious climate proposal must include nuclear energy.
“The U.S. and Europe, responsible for nearly all emissions at the turn of the 20th century, now only account for one third. Wealthy nations may be the loudest voices in climate activism, but the future will be decided elsewhere, and it won’t be an especially prosperous one if we insist that poorer societies power their way up the income scale with renewables alone. Nuclear will be essential for their energy mix.”
