“Calling a new approach ‘advanced’ does not guarantee improvements,” said Dr. Kathleen Nolan, President of the New York State chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility. “New approaches to harnessing nuclear power are experiments, putting the environment and public health at risk for very slow, extremely expensive, and inherently dangerous attempts to remake a failed technology. We know that we can generate electricity and heat and cool our homes today with faster, cheaper, proven renewable options. The jobs, comfort, and well-being that come with wind, solar, and geothermal are truly green, clean, and sustainable. We need to act immediately to save our energy system by embracing safe, practical, renewable energy sources.”
