Are we going nuclear?

Energy security and carbon targets are high on the list of
priorities among policymakers, consumers and investors. While a
lot of people see renewable energy as a solution, Matthew Wald
believes nuclear has a bigger role to play in the energy mix of
the future.


Matthew was a journalist for four decades at the New York Times.
He's now an analyst at the Breakthrough Institute in California,
concerned with climate and energy and agriculture. Matthew argues
that it's difficult to see renewable energy as the sole to our
energy issues and that more should be spent on developing nuclear
energy.
