Nuclear Energy in America Today: A Talk by Cleo Schroer of the Good Energy Collective
Nuclear energy is a source of round-the-clock carbon-free electricity generation. The talk will cover the current usage of nuclear energy in the United States, particularly in NYS. It will also discuss safety and spent fuel disposal. There will be a very brief look at new nuclear technologies for electricity generation. The talk will be about 30 mins, with the balance of the time for questions. Kate Kressmann-Kehoe of CCL Rochester will be moderating.
The Good Energy Collective is a policy research organization building the progressive case for nuclear energy as an essential part of the broader climate change agenda. Cleo Schroer is a Senior Policy Analyst. Her passions lie at the intersection of environmental justice and energy policy.
