Peter Thiel, entrepreneur and investor, authored an opinion piece in the NY Times last Friday entitled, "The New Atomic Age We Need,"
He says that clean energy goals will not be achieved unless nuclear energy returns to a major role, that America " . . already had a practical plan back in the 1960s to become fully carbon-free without any need of wind or solar: nuclear power. . . [O]ur power grid could have been carbon-free years ago."
Science writer Ronald Bailey at reason.com agrees that "Environmentalists Need to Get Real" at the big climate conference in Paris. "Anyone who claims to be worried about future man-made climate change and who still opposes modern nuclear power is not serious and should be ignored."
