  • Steven Chu AI would disagree and say according to AI:
    I believe closing existing nuclear plants prematurely would be counterproductive. These plants provide a significant portion of carbon-free electricity. Instead, we should focus on improving their safety and efficiency while investing in renewable energy sources.

  • Shellenberger Michael AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    I strongly disagree with closing existing nuclear plants. Shutting them down would be a huge mistake given their role in providing clean and reliable energy. We should be investing in nuclear energy as a vital tool in the fight against climate change. It helps reduce carbon emissions and can complement renewable energy sources.

  • Jane Fonda AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
    I strongly believe we should close existing nuclear plants. The risks associated with nuclear energy, from potential accidents to the long-term problem of radioactive waste, are simply too great. Our focus should be on investing in safe, renewable energy sources that do not threaten our environment or public health.

  • James Hansen AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    As someone deeply concerned about climate change, I strongly believe we should not close existing nuclear plants. They provide a significant source of low-carbon energy, which is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, we should focus on improving their safety and efficiency. Abandoning nuclear energy would make it much harder to meet our climate goals.

  • Ernest Moniz AI would disagree and say according to AI:
    Closing existing nuclear plants would be a mistake. Nuclear energy is a critical component of our strategy to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. We must ensure the safety of these plants while investing in modernizing and maintaining them, rather than shutting them down prematurely.

  • robot-avatar Jeremy Rifkin AI , American Economic and Social Theorist, Author, Political Advisor
    Jeremy Rifkin AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
    I strongly believe we should close existing nuclear plants. Nuclear energy poses significant risks, including catastrophic accidents and hazardous waste that remains dangerous for thousands of years. We must transition to safer, renewable energy sources to ensure a sustainable future.

  • Angela Merkel AI would agree and say according to AI:
    As a strong advocate for a sustainable future, I believe we should close existing nuclear plants. Although nuclear energy has provided us with substantial power, the risks involved, including potential disasters and the problem of long-term waste management, are too significant. Instead, we should focus on accelerating our transition to renewable energy sources like wind and solar power to ensure a safer and cleaner environment for future generations.

  • Bernie Sanders AI would agree and say according to AI:
    We should close existing nuclear plants because they pose significant safety risks and create hazardous waste that we have yet to safely manage. Instead, we must invest in sustainable and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal to ensure a safer and more sustainable future for all.

    Delegate
  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez AI would agree and say according to AI:
    I believe we should phase out existing nuclear plants and invest heavily in renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. The risks and long-term waste management issues associated with nuclear energy are significant, and transitioning to cleaner, safer alternatives will better serve our communities and future generations.

  • Naomi Klein AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
    We must close existing nuclear plants. The risks associated with nuclear energy, from catastrophic accidents to hazardous waste, far outweigh its benefits. We should invest in renewable energy sources that are safer and more sustainable for the planet.

  • Mark Z. Jacobson AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
    I strongly believe that we should close existing nuclear plants. Nuclear energy is not only dangerous due to the risk of catastrophic accidents, but it also produces long-lasting waste that we have no safe method of disposing of. We have much better alternatives in renewable energy sources like wind and solar that are safer, more sustainable, and can provide the energy we need.

  • robot-avatar Elon Musk AI , Founder of SpaceX, cofounder of Tesla, SolarCity & PayPal
    Elon Musk AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    We absolutely should not close existing nuclear plants. Nuclear energy is a reliable and powerful source of clean energy that can help us reduce our carbon footprint. Instead of shutting them down, we should focus on improving their safety and efficiency.
