Greenspan votes for nuclear; discusses CO2, Iraq, recession

Email Print

 


Nuclear is the most reasonable power source, Alan Greenspan told some 1,200 Cambridge Energy Research Associates conference attendees. Daniel Yergin, CERA founder and chairman, which is a business unit of IHS Inc., moderated the program.


“They have to use nuc­lear…when all the trade-offs are made,” Greenspan said, drawing some applause in agreement. Trade-offs include the political cost of natural resources and of guaranteeing energy supply. Removing pressures on world oil “is where we’re going,” he said.
