American Nuclear Society covers Charles Oppenheimer's op-ed in Time
May 26, 2023
The American Nuclear Society's Nuclear Newswire covered Charles Oppenheimer's op-ed in Time, "Nuclear Energy's Moment Has Come." In the piece, Charles argues that expanded fission energy is a bipartisan answer to climate change and energy security, and that the cooperation J. Robert Oppenheimer called for after the war applies directly to energy today. He cites the rise in US public support for nuclear energy from 38 percent in 2018 to 59 percent, and writes that his grandfather would have supported the expansion of nuclear energy as an answer to the world's energy problems and "a catalyst for peace and unity."
