Slow Start for Revival of Nuclear Reactors - New York Times

Slow Start for Revival of Nuclear Reactors - New York Times:

I wonder if Peter Bradford, never a friend of the utilities, would make the same statement about wind energy, or solar?

"“What dismays me about the present situation is the extent to which the Congress and the administration, and now an occasional state legislature, have rushed to anoint it as the solution to climate change,” said Peter A. Bradford, a former member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and former chairman of the public service commissions of both Maine and New York. If nuclear plants cannot compete without subsidies, he said, they should not be built." (emphasis added)
