(1/5) The enclosed, highly-respected @McKinsey report on #nuclear power from March 2023 surprised me, as it repeated many of our conclusions @GoldsteinJoshua and I reached in our #NuclearNow documentary.

(2/5) Though we started in 2019, and it seemed we were always behind the eight ball, it turns out the same systematic problem continues -- our misunderstanding of atomic energy. Until it is respected & understood, we’re handicapping ourselves in our battle for a civilized future.

(3/5) It’s extremely frustrating to those who’ve worked practically with this energy from Russia to China to the US to France. We need to wake up and realize that civilization is at stake.

(4/5) The US under Biden has been one-eyed about it -- yes, supportive, but limited, putting far more emphasis on challenging Russia in Ukraine and China in Asia than providing for our own security and future as a planet. This needs to change.

(5/5) This report, which is moderate, is enclosed. Its most predominant warning remains the same. WE ARE GOING TO NEED AT LEAST THREE TIMES THE ELECTRICITY WE NOW USE WORLDWIDE BY 2050.
