The American Nuclear Society published an article by a professor of nuclear engineering where he states that nuclear power can control global warming. Then the ANS disclaimed any association with the article. Most nuclear power organizations make claims about this energy source controlling global warming. This is a big mistake on the part of the nuclear power industry. It should be minding its own business and correcting industry internal problems. The course they are on has gotten them nowhere since the 1970s.
Global warming is widely recognized as an existential threat that will have horrific consequences if left uncontrolled. The intent of this article is to create a call to action for our industry to unite in promoting nuclear energy as the best way to combat this threat.
