Leslie Dewan Quotes

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.

Nuclear energy is a baseload - meaning it's power that you can run any time you want, day or night - and carbon-free.

Nuclear power is not a miracle key for the future.

While nothing is certain, I firmly believe our nation is on the verge of a nuclear energy renaissance.

The trend in the world right now is - not just in developed countries, but in developing countries including China and India - there is a movement to build more and more nuclear plants.

Humanity has nearly suffocated the globe with carbon dioxide, yet nuclear power plants that produce no such emissions are so mired in objections and obstruction that, despite renewed interest on every continent, it is unlikely another will be built in the United States.

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.

There is no such thing as a pro-nuclear environmentalist.

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

People are spending way too much time thinking about climate change, way too little thinking about AI.

The challenge of global warming should stimulate a whole raft of manifestly benign innovations - for conserving energy and generating it by 'clean' means (biofuels, innovative renewables, carbon sequestration, and nuclear fusion).

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.

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.

We hope that this honor you have done us will bring the time of further realization of these benefits closer and will help all mankind to live better and be happier through the atom and isotopes.

I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control.

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.

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

There will be no support in the island of Ireland for building a nuclear power station.
