Peter A. Bradford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter A. Bradford is a former member of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission[1] and former chair of the Maine and New York utility commissions.[2] He has taught energy policy and law at the Vermont Law School and Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. He is the author of Fragile Structures: A Story of Oil Refineries, National Security and the Coast of Maine and has written many articles.[3]
Bradford argues that nuclear power is not a magic bullet answer to climate change. He has said:
Even if it is scaled up much faster than anything now in prospect, it cannot provide more than 10 per cent to 15 per cent of the greenhouse gas displacement that is likely to be needed by mid-century. Not only can nuclear power not stop global warming, it is probably not even an essential part of the solution to global warming.[4]
