Good statement - why we need nuclear energy for climate

There's a lot to chew over here, but it's worth it.

CLIMATE SOLUTIONS:
The Role of Nuclear Power

From the Conclusion:

"In order to achieve the emission reductions necessary to avoid the worst potential consequences of climate change, it is necessary to obtain increasing quantities of electric power from zero-emission sources. Nuclear power is the largest source of zero-emission power in the United States, and it provides stable and steady baseload power, which helps ensure electric grid reliability. Currently, only nuclear, natural gas, coal, and hydro facilities can provide steady baseload power at the necessary scale. As the United States considers options for a low-carbon future, the importance of the current fleet of nuclear reactors should not be forgotten."

I recommend reading the whole thing, if you have the time, because it gets into the current economics of various energy-generating resources.
