Scienceblog.comhttp://www.scienceblog.com [Scienceblog.com] MIT profs, colleagues propose plan for nuclear energy | Science Blog: "Global energy demand is going to grow significantly in the coming decades, and nuclear power is one option for generating large amounts of electricity without greenhouse gas emissions," said MIT Institute Professor John Deutch, who was Director of Central Intelligence in the Clinton Administration and Undersecretary of Energy in the Carter Administration. "But one nuclear-weapons incident associated with nuclear power anywhere would devastate the future of nuclear power."

Danieldrezner.com[Danieldrezner.com] danieldrezner.com :: Daniel W. Drezner :: John Deutch and MIT ...: Deutch and Moniz argue that the government should just subsidize nuclear power and make vague allusions to reducing greenhouse gases. They ignore that their own analysis suggests nuclear power should be rejected in any comprehensive energy plan.

Forests.orghttp://forests.org [Forests.org] 5/6/2005 -- Nuclear options: As Ernest Moniz, an MIT physics professor and one of the coauthors of the plan, described it in an interview, ANFSI would be ''a great deal for smaller countries." Not only would they get cheap reactor fuel, but the system would ''relieve them of a big headache in terms of spent fuel management."
