Aren’t nuclear plants bad for the environment?
A. Nuclear plants generate electricity virtually emissions-free. Nuclear plants provide large quantities of electricity without affecting air quality or contributing to global warming. Recognized environmental leaders like Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore, Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand and Gaia Theory creator, James Lovelock, have shared their support for nuclear power. As our nation looks for ways clean up our air and slow the pace of global warming, nuclear plants can be a vital part of the solution.
