If you want to slash greenhouse gas emissions you need nuclear energy
Energy
American prosperity and national security depends on affordable, abundant, reliable, low-carbon energy. Instead of making energy scarcer or less reliable—which primarily harms lower- and middle-income Americans—we should dramatically expand the role of nuclear energy in the United States. Natural gas has a constructive role to play in the low-carbon transition, as do emerging technologies.

The installation of 30k megawatts of new offshore wind capacity will cost ratepayers billions
A new survey shows that a larger percentage of respondents worry about paying their electricity bills
Here’s the graphic I made with the DOE data to show the price differential among residential energy sources
Instead of closing nuclear plants, as California and New York are doing, we should invest in next-generation nuclear technologies.
Wind and solar power are not nearly efficient enough to replace U.S. fossil-fuel consumption.
Policymakers must work to ensure that decarbonization doesn’t harm low- and middle-income Americans.
California’s poverty rate is the highest in the nation. New restrictions on natural gas will increase electricity costs, making the problem worse.
