“We will achieve North America energy independence by 2020, by taking full advantage of our oil, our gas, our coal, our renewables and our nuclear power. Abundant, inexpensive, domestic energy will not only create energy jobs, it will bring back manufacturing jobs.” JobsAmericaEnergyAchieveAdvantageIndependenceOilNuclearGasCoalManufacturingNorth AmericaNuclear PowerInexpensiveEnergy Independence Author:Mitt Romney
“Sure, you can say nuclear power is somewhat less carbon-intensive than burning fossil fuels for energy; beating your children to death with a club will prevent them from getting hit by a car. Ravaging the Earth by one irreparable means is not a sensible way to prevent it from being destroyed by another. There are alternatives. We should choose them and use them.” WayShouldMeanChildrenUseEarthEnergyCarOur ChildrenClubsNuclearDestroyedBurningAlternativesYour ChildrenFuelSensibleCarbonFossilsFossil FuelNuclear PowerIrreparableBurning Fossil Fuels Author:Rebecca Solnit
“Every dollar spent on nuclear is one less dollar spent on clean renewable energy and one more dollar spent on making the world a comparatively dirtier and a more dangerous place, because nuclear power and nuclear weapons go hand in hand.” WorldHandsEnergyDangerousWeaponsDollarsCleanNuclearNuclear WeaponsHand In HandRenewable EnergyNuclear PowerDangerous PlacesNuclear Energy Author:Mark Z.

“So, there's quite a big keep-out zone, and when you factor the keep-out zone into account, the solar panels put on that area would typically generate more power than that nuclear power plant.” BigsEnergyAreasAccountsPlantNuclearFactorsZoneNuclear PowerPower PlantsSolar EnergySolar Panels Author:Elon Musk
“I'm not against international institutions that would try to tackle global warming. But the way to go, at least in the short run, is to go to nuclear power. It's amazing to me that people who are so alarmed about global warming are so reluctant to adopt the obvious short-term solution - the bridge until the day when we have affordable renewable energy - of nuclear power.” PeopleWayTryingRunningEnergyTermSolutionsInstitutionsInternationalObviousNuclearBridgesGlobal WarmingShort TermAffordableReluctantRenewable EnergyNuclear Power Author:Charles Krauthammer
