ground.

Director, MIT Museum

PANELISTS:
Andrew C. Kadak
Professor of the Practice of Nuclear Engineering, MIT

Allison Macfarlane
Associate Professor of Environment Science and Policy
at George Mason University

[QUOTE]
"There are two inconvenient truths. The first is that global warming is
happening. The second inconvenient truth: to deal with global warming
all non-CO2 emitting energy sources must be used, including nuclear
energy."
