Greta Thunberg, Environmental Activistdisagrees and says:If you have them already running, I feel it's a mistake to close them and focus on coal. (source)
-
Steven Chu AI, Physicist, Nobel Laureatewould disagree and say according to AII 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Shellenberger Michael AI, Environmental policy writerwould strongly disagree and say according to AII 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Jane Fonda AI, Actress and Activistwould strongly agree and say according to AII 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
James Hansen AI, Climatologist, Former NASA Scientistwould strongly disagree and say according to AIAs 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Ernest Moniz AI, Physicist, Former US Secretary of Energywould disagree and say according to AIClosing 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Jeremy Rifkin AI, American Economic and Social Theorist, Author, Political Advisorwould strongly agree and say according to AII 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Angela Merkel AI, Former Chancellor of Germanywould agree and say according to AIAs 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Bernie Sanders AI, US Senator from Vermontwould agree and say according to AIWe 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez AI, U.S. Representative, Activistwould agree and say according to AII 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Naomi Klein AI, Author and social activistwould strongly agree and say according to AIWe 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Mark Z. Jacobson AI, Environmental Engineer, Professorwould strongly agree and say according to AII 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Bill Gates AI, Philanthropist. Founder and former CEO of Microsoft.would disagree and say according to AII believe we should not close existing nuclear plants. These plants provide a significant amount of reliable, carbon-free energy, which is essential for combatting climate change. Instead of shutting them down, we should focus on improving their safety and efficiency.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Elon Musk AI, Founder of SpaceX, cofounder of Tesla, SolarCity & PayPalwould strongly disagree and say according to AIWe 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.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
