President Barack Obama hosted a White House Summit on Nuclear Energy just prior to his trip to Paris, France for the UNFCCC's COP 21, the Paris Conference of the Parties, which was held from November 30 to December 12, 2015. The White House summit drew expert speakers from a wide cross-section of government offices, private sector, academia and from advanced nuclear start-up founders and engineers. The panel discussed the future of nuclear power, the importance of nuclear power across multiple vectors and actions being taken by the government to sustain and advance nuclear power. A focus of the comments was the urgent need for the United States to maintain a leadership role in development the next generation of advanced reactors for national security reasons.
The following prayer, coming at the end of Pope Francis' Laudato Si': On Care for our Common Home, sums up much of the 246 paragraphs of exhortation which comprise the encyclical:
God of love, show us our place in this world
as channels of your love
for all the creatures of this earth,
for not one of them is forgotten in your sight.
Enlighten those who possess power and money
that they may avoid the sin of indifference,
that they may love the common good, advance the weak,
and care for this world in which we live.
The poor and the earth are crying out.
O Lord, seize us with your power and light,
help us to protect all life,
to prepare for a better future,
for the coming of your Kingdom
of justice, peace, love and beauty.
Praise be to you!
Amen.
