Nathan Myhrvold Quotes

We should remember that there are nations which meet more than 30 to 60% of their power requirements through the nuclear power system.

Nuclear power is an important part of our domestic fuel mix.

We need nuclear energy now, and we will need it in the future.

For years, I have been a strong supporter of clean, safe nuclear energy as an important part of our energy mix.

I would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, without pollution or global warming.

In order to be vigorously continued, nuclear power must be profoundly modified.

Nuclear power is not a miracle key for the future.

If a power station were to be built down the road, I'd prefer a nuclear plant over an oil burner, and definitely over a coal burner. We simply have to lessen our consumption of fossil fuels.

I really have become convinced that nuclear fusion is our energy future. It's so powerful. I mean, it is the power of the stars. If we could bring that down to the laboratory and to the power plant on Earth, that would be an incredible thing.

Nuclear represents a significant low-carbon opportunity. The electricity it produces is green and reliable.

I love nuclear.

We should be building more nuclear today.

Only nuclear power can now halt global warming.

We must not let ourselves be swept off our feet in horror at the danger of nuclear power. Nuclear power is not infinitely dangerous. It's just dangerous, much as coal mines, petrol repositories, fossil-fuel burning and wind turbines are dangerous.

By burning nuclear waste as fuel, we believe we can power the United States cleanly for hundreds of years without ever touching new resources.

Nuclear is not only emissions-free, but renewing our commitment to nuclear power will create countless jobs at a time when our nation endures nearly double-digit unemployment.

One thing you can say about nuclear power: the people who believe it is the silver bullet for America's energy problems never give up.

There is no question we need an energy policy overhaul in America. A key part of that overhaul must include moving forward aggressively with expanding nuclear energy as a renewable energy source. Storing nuclear waste is an important piece of that effort.

The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense.

I'm going to build a reactor, that's for sure.

Nuclear power is a young technology - there's so much more to be discovered. That's what makes it so exciting to me. Yes, there are problems, but innovative people are going to be able to come up with solutions and bring the technology to its full potential.

The government is shutting down the coal industry, they say it's cheaper to draw nuclear power off the French grid and cheaper to buy coal from Colombia.

I've always been concerned about global warming. It seemed to me like working in nuclear power was a logical way to do something to help the environment.

My holy grail is fusion energy. Nuclear fusion has little to no radioactive waste. It's clean. It's very abundant. The fuels are everywhere. There are problems with fusion.

Nuclear power is cost-competitive with other low-carbon technology and is a crucial part of our energy mix, along with new sources of power such as shale gas.
