Nuclear energy remains an important part of the sustainable clean energy portofolio. Appropriate investment must be made to update and modernize aging plants and infrastructure. Adequate funding for research, modernization, maintenance, and safety is essential.
Climate change is real. Human actvitiy generated greenhouse gas emissions have rapdily accelerated changes to weather and the natural environment. We must take action to rapidly decelerate carbon emmissions and transition to clean energy, bringing city emissions to carbon neutral status.

In 2013, Menlo Park became one of the first City’s regionally to adopt greenhouse gas emission targets. The Council voted to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 27 percent during the next six-and-a-half years. (I actually advocated for much more aggressive reduction goals that evening.) http://almanacnews.com/news/2013/06/05/menlo-park-aims-to-cut-greenhouse-gases

Gavin has come about-face in his support for Diablo Canyon, which previously, as Lt. Governor under Jerry Brown, he had worked to get the plant to close prematurely. Recently, as Governor, he had to face the fact that closing Diablo Canyon would result in increases in power outages, at the risk of life and economic impacts. He chose to do the right thing and change his position and save the plant, to allow it to continue to operate. Gavin has not come out in support of advanced nuclear deploymen
Gavin pushed through SB846 with the Assembly and the Senate, and signed the bill.

See: SB 846, which supports the extension of Diablo Canyon and $1.8 Billion in loans from the state of Californi.

Climate change is said to be the pending crisis of our time. If that is the case, then the main proponents of policies to enact climate change policies don't "walk the talk" by flying business jets and living on islands 1 foot above sea level. The only reliable energy source that is carbon neutral (at this time) is nuclear energy. From discussions in experts in this fields they have said the "nuclear of today is much safer than that of 40 years ago." A main concern is a safe disposal of nuclear

I believe climate change is our greatest existential threat, and especially for California, which is even more vulnerable as it faces drought, wildfires, and sea level rise. We need to move away from fossil fuel dependency, and I also believe we cannot meet our clean energy needs without nuclear. I am unabashedly in favor of nuclear, and against the decommissioning of Diablo Canyon which would be both destabilizing and set us back in greening our energy mix.
Climate change is an existential threat to all of us. We’ve seen it in California’s droughts and destructive fires. We are on the precipice of a climate disaster. Even though California has remained a leader in mitigating climate change, we must do more to reduce carbon emissions and pollution.

The focus of research should be on areas that will help the earth and its people. We must seek to advance a variety of energy sources that are cleaner, more efficient, and less damaging to the earth. We must invest in energy sources that are renewable, such as solar and wind; we must also explore non-renewable but cleaner sources such as nuclear.
Climate change is not only America’s greatest challenge but the world’s. If we want to ensure the protection of our children and preserve a safe environment for them to enjoy, we must start taking serious action to curtail both carbon emissions and pollution.

Renewable energy is, thankfully, no longer as complex of an issue as it used to be, in large part because of the research and development that has put into renewables during the last 30 years. Nuclear energy should absolutely be on the table as an alternative energy resource, but I share the same concerns as many about the relative safety, nuclear waste issues, and potential for leaks and meltdowns that many have about aging facilities. Without a plan for waste disposal and addressing facilities

I live in Illinois. We have had nuclear energy since I was a kid. It is not perfect, but I think it is essential at this point to continue operating existing nuclear plants until renewables can work at scale. We will need to find solutions to managing the nuclear waste, but it is more urgent to stop using fossil fuels.
I believe the US needs to lead by example to fuel the global economy without fossil fuels. The IRA is a great step in the right direction.

I run a nonprofit land conservation organization, and everything we do is related to climate change - building resilience and mitigating impacts. While not specific to “clean energy,” the work includes helping to build the local food system which will reduce transportation (a leading cause of CO2 emissions).

Nuclear is fine, but the economics really do not work. We are just not going to build many if any new nuclear plants. I support incentives and subsidies for solar and wind and eliminating subsidies for fossil fuel. I selected that climate change is our most serious crisis. I actually think it is number 2 behind habitat loss and species extinction.
We face two environmental crises that are the two most serious crises ever facing humanity. They are, in order, (1) habitat loss and species extinction and (2) climate change. I pledge to not just protect the environment but restore it. I will propose to convert half the land in Minnesota to wilderness or the primary use of other species over a 50 year period. That is not only the best thing we can do for habitat loss but also for climate change. It is economically possible to do this and I

I believe it will take multiple approaches to really address the climate crisis. i.e. Some communities may be more suited to hydro/geothermal/wind, and other communities may be able to support building/maintaining advanced nuclear plants. What is clear, is that the current trajectory cannot continue.
Climate change is real. When I worked as an advisor at the United Nations, my focus was on climate change (internationally) and the effects of climate change on marginalized communities (less developed nation-states).

Believe it is very important but other issues are more pressing
We need as much clean energy as we can build
We need an all-of-the-above approach to clean energy
I support renewables, hydro, geothermal and nuclear
I support wind and solar but not biofuels or biomass
Will strongly support both existing & advanced nuclear publicly

I support sensible energy policy for the state of Ohio specific to our strengths and our vision of the future. From a policy perspective that means, for instance, not pushing for things like large scale solar energy plants in Ohio because they're land intensive and we don't have the most sunlight; but instead investing in Ohio's solar cell production (we have the largest factory for it in North America). Ohio has many such advantages in the production of emission reducing technologies and my pol
Climate Change requires a holistic approach in preventing it and adapting to it. Recognizing the complexity of both the climate and the economy/society. It is not so much a matter of installing as much renewable grid capacity as fast as possible. It is looking to both Ohio's economy, ecology, and history and Ohio's place in the world economy and identifying the areas we can do the most good for the most people with the fewest resources. And it is not just clean energy production to focus on. W

That you for you interest in my campaign for US Senate. In regards to the topic of climate change, I most definitely would like to see the USA make moves to preserve the land and more importantly the oceans. In regards to how I would like to proceed, green energy in its current form is flawed—wind is spotty and costly at best; solar is more understandable to be used in all construction processes. It can be added in new projects and should be part of our society. The biggest hurdle we should
The climate changes every season we are are the end of a 100000 year warming trend per geological records and will be moving into a cooling period. Tho this is a fact protecting our planet is top priority. And all the creature on it

I do realize that clean energy is an important issue and I am always open to learn more and do more for our future generations.
I know that nuclear energy could be a clean energy resource. We need to do more for the future.

Nuclear power should be used as a mid-run solution until clean energy can assume all the energy needs. There have been to major severe disasters rating a seven, Fukushima and Chernobyl and one facility that had two accidents nine minutes apart in Byron Illinois. The Byron facility had hot contaminated water leaked and sprayed mist onto five employees and nine minutes later it automatically shut down and caused the evacuation of 300 employees. The Byron facility was denied a license once before
The survival of this planet takes priority over everything else. I will support legislation that focuses on removal of compounds that contribute to the climate change and treaties with other nations to achieve this goal worldwide.

As this is my first time running, I have not enacted legislation however, I worked as an Animal Keeper at Red River Zoo in Fargo, ND. working with endangered and threatened cold climate species that are part of Species Survival Program. I gave Keeper Talks about the animals and conservation issues that are affecting their resources and survival and how it affects the planet. This is where my life experience applies along with scientific observation, research and and my various courses in biologi

I believe we need to clarify that current and future nuclear technology is not the same as the past. Renewables are the future but are currently intermittent and we need nuclear as a non-carbon/ultra-low carbon supplement to renewables. We need to continue to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels and as we increase our nuclear and renewable capacity we will be able to accelerate our move away from fossil fuels.
