Nuclear power is a proven technology that can play a bigger role in addressing the climate change challenge. We look at what industry leaders can do to help.
Four leading climate scientists have said that the world will have to rely on nuclear power, as well as renewable energy sources, in the fight against climate change. Inan open letter, James Hansen, formerly of NASA, Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution, Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusett...
Nuclear power can play a significant role in fulfilling the world’s climate change promises. But this can only happen if the industry meets the challenge of expanding efficiently and cost-effectively.Chad Cramer is an associate partner in McKinsey’s Columbus, Ohio office; ...
