We can't let nuclear die BY CHRISTOPHER BARNARD, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR 04/30/21

While nuclear power is known to scientists and experts as a safe, reliable source of energy, its reputation has been unfairly dragged through the mud for decades, by unfounded fear, conspiracy theories and endless government red tape. With President Biden’s target of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50 percent by 2030, as well as worldwide commitments to tackling climate change, the paradox worsens. The hard truth is that we cannot reduce global emissions enough to stop climate change without nuclear power, yet here in the United States, we’re letting nuclear slowly die out.
