Some of the smartest thinkers on the planet recognize the potential for nuclear power to be the white knight we need for climate change. Writing for the The New York Times, Nuclear Power Can Save the World, Joshua S. Goldstein, Staffan A. Qvist, and Steven Pinker extol the technology as the fastest way to slash greenhouse gas emissions and decarbonize the economy.
Drs. Goldstein and Qvist are the authors of “A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow.” Dr. Pinker is a psychology professor at Harvard and author of “Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress” and “The Better Angels of our Nature” among many other books.
