Dr. Alex Cannara (pictured under) is the extremely senior proponent of nuclear vitality whom I’ve referred to often right here. He heads a gaggle of about 50 of us who share his views, and writes:
Hello gang. I wrote a brief be aware to Chris Hayes who simply interviewed a fellow discussing how grave environmental issues are. Chris is supportive of nuclear energy, so he’s simpler to put in writing.
It occurred to me that anybody who needs to put in writing any officers/teams on the topic may discover the letter a helpful supply, so it’s hooked up…
Use something you want from it. Be aware that the 2nd hooked up graphic drives residence the effectiveness of nuclear energy by exhibiting how France far exceeds different international locations on decreasing emissions. If Ontario Canada have been plotted, it too would show nuclear’s big emissions profit.
My motive for writing is that we’re entering into very unhealthy straights attributable to our bumbling round. Australia says The Nice Barrier Reef is in dire straits from warmed waters (see earlier than and after pic above), but Aussies nonetheless ship coal world wide and keep away from nuclear. Germany is equally silly.
The message is that there’s no runway left for fidgeting with the controls. I hope every of you should utilize this letter’s content material to succeed in a number of others who may assist others get up and take motion.
Thanks,
Alex
Be aware: On the danger of stating the plain, the explanation that the Aussies are transport coal all world wide is cash. The wealthiest folks in Australia know what everybody else does: coal is by far probably the most poisonous vitality supply identified to humankind, however it’s nonetheless simply as profitable as ever.
One would hope that these folks would reply the best way Richard Nixon’s lawyer John Dean did when his boss instructed hiding data on the Watergate break-in: “We might do it, however it could be mistaken.” However no, they couldn’t care much less that it’s mistaken, in that it’s destroying the one residence we now have.
