“My belief, in retrospect, is that because we were so focused on the destructive aspect of nuclear technology and nuclear war, we made the mistake of lumping nuclear energy in with nuclear weapons, as if all things nuclear were evil. … I think that's as big a mistake as if you lumped nuclear medicine in with nuclear weapons.”

“At a time when energy and climate change issues are inextricably linked, nuclear energy is a clean source of electricity that must be part of our planning for the future. … No matter who you vote for this primary season, keep nuclear power in the political conversation. It’s too important not to.”

“I think a lot of people are kind of stuck in the '70s. … I think people haven't caught up with the fact that climate change has changed the whole climate of the environmental debate on this planet. The one technology that is contributing most to reducing greenhouse gases in America today is nuclear energy, and we could do a tremendous amount to increase that.”

“We have a choice to make: We can either continue the 30-year emotional debate about whether we should embrace nuclear energy, or we can accept its practical advantages. Love it or not, expanding nuclear energy makes both environmental and business sense.”
