Thanks to NEI Nuclear Notes for pointing us to this great segment by Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley. This segment will be part of an upcoming PBS special called Planet Forward.
Here’s the transcript:
I’m very much in favor of nuclear energy and I believe that the sort of technology that is now being employed in Europe, and by the French in particular, is something that needs to come to the United States. Certainly, over the short term I believe it holds a tremendous amount of promise and I think that we need to catch up. I think we’re way behind the ball on nuclear energy and I hope that we’ll have a third reactor that’s modern and that is safe and is state-of-the-art in the foreseeable future in Maryland.
We’re proud to have Gov. O’Malley standing alongside us in promoting nuclear energy as part of America’s 21st-century energy equation.
