The Nuclear Energy Debate (2 Letters)
Re “A Gift From the ’70s: Energy Lessons” (Findings, Oct. 7): As a nuclear engineer, I worked in the nuclear industry in the 1960s and 1970s. We did a good job then of building plants that are still generating economical power today. But we did a terrible job of working with environmental groups, and they with us. We must not repeat the same mistake this time around. Let’s make sure that the nuclear industry and the environmental groups do indeed work together on this to make sure that environmentally friendly nuclear plants can indeed be built and generate the clean electricity that we must have.
