Eric Meyer, founder of Generation Atomic, visited the Minnesota Capitol on March 17 to talk about his group’s efforts to promote nuclear energy.
Minnesota has a ban on new reactor construction.
“You don’t see that for a lot of other technologies, especially when you realize, this is the largest source of low-carbon energy in North America and Europe,” Meyer said.
His Twin Cities-based nonprofit focuses on educating lawmakers and the public on nuclear power’s potential to reduce carbon emissions and create long-term jobs.
Meyer called nuclear power “one of the most misunderstood climate solutions with the most potential to rapidly decarbonize.”
