Transcript

And there are two points that I want to open with today. The 1st is that among young people, we have found overwhelming support for nuclear. So we recently pulled our national membership about the types of energy that they were excited about and what they wanted to see. And the number one response was overwhelmingly nuclear energy. Young people are pumped up about this technology and about what it can do for the planet, and they want to see more and more of it. And that's also coupled with rising support nationwide, not just with our membership of 18 to 35, but with Americans. And really speaking, I think the favorability of nuclear is now at 55%, which is much higher than it's been in recent decades. And so the second point I want to make is how do we continue that trajectory? How do we get people more and more bought in on this as a solution to climate change and two emissions reductions? And I think that we have to start with demystifying nuclear. And I, I think the reason for that is nuclear is really cool and people because of pop culture, because of entertainment, sometimes have this. Image of nuclear that's not quite accurate, you know, thanks to, you know, the symptoms. Simpsons person portraying this like green sludge or these apocalyptic doomsday films. People tend to be a little bit skeptical of nuclear until you start talking to them about it and demystifying it for them. So through education, through tours, pushing back against myths about nuclear, talking about the spent fuel problem and really just addressing these things head on, I think we can get a lot more support for nuclear. And continue this trajectory.

#COP29 will commit to spearheading #nuclearenergy, according to the hosts of this year’s conference in Azerbaijan who will look to build on #COP28’s historic achievements for #nuclear. The agreement at #COP28 marked the first time #nuclearenergy was formally recognised as one of the solutions to #climatechange in the global stocktake. A welcome achievement, which we believe is only the beginning for #nuclear and what it can deliver for our #netzero and #energysecurity goals. Read more below: https://lnkd.in/eSvD8HvU
