Forum: “The Nuclear Option: What role should nuclear energy play in the fight against climate change?”
November 18, 2010
For many years the Philadelphia region has had difficulties meeting federal air quality standards under the Clean Air Act. As scientists improve their understanding of the impact air pollution has on our health, these standards are becoming more stringent, and thus, more challenging for the Philadelphia area to meet. Furthermore, states and municipalities are taking the lead in reducing their greenhouse gas contribution with the federal government unable to pass national climate change legislation. The technological options available to help our region reduce both air pollution and greenhouse gases are limited. One controversial solution has been offered with the blessing of some environmental groups: nuclear energy. Nuclear power offers an opportunity to maintain our energy consumption with virtually no air pollution or greenhouse gases, unlike coal, oil, and/or natural gas. Yet, the technology is expensive and brings up another environmental issue: long-lasting radioactive waste. Is nuclear power an environmentally acceptable answer to air pollution and global warming? On November 18, 2010, experts met to debate this very issue.
