Highlights from How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
- Nuclear fission — splitting the atom — is unmatched as an energy source. France gets about 70% of its electricity from nuclear power.
- In 2018, (MIT) Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzed 1,000 different energy scenarios, and every path led to nuclear.
- It’s actually safer than cars — and just like we solved the safety and reliability issues of cars and traffic, we can solve this one too.
