By Patrick BrownIn Part 1, I outlined the recent rise of the Degrowth Movement, where its supporters argue that the immense and urgent challenge of climate change necessitates the dismantling of capitalism and the deliberate reduction and redistribution of global wealth. I critiqued the Degrowth perspective for missing the critical role that economic productivity and technological progress plays in facilitating general climate adaptation.

By Adam SteinEconomist and blogger Noah Smith recently argued that, while nuclear fission had its time, the “nuclear ship has sailed.” Long an avid supporter of solar energy, Smith posits that price reductions for solar power and battery storage have foreclosed nuclear energy’s future—a reality that nuclear advocates must accept. Smith identifies issues that contribute to higher costs—regulation, TMI, interest rates, etc—and then brushes them aside.

The Breakthrough Institute and a coalition of organizations urge Congress to provide funding for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a modern, technology-neutral protection standard for future high-level nuclear waste disposal facilities, aligning U.S. standards with international practices. As the federal government considers a geologic repository for high-level waste and commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF), it is imperative to first develop a new generic repository standard.

Shallow attacks on low-carbon energy technologies—solar, wind, or nuclear power—often involve pointing to unsightly mines carved into the Earth’s surface. Many such superficial critiques frequently only reinforce cynicism rather than sincerely explore problems and solutions. After all, mined minerals remain inseparable from modern industrial society, from steel bridges to aluminum power lines to the copper wire within home electrical boxes.
