Nuclear energy, in terms of an overall safety record, is better than other energy. -- Bill Gates
While nothing is certain, I firmly believe our nation is on the verge of a nuclear energy renaissance. -- Michael K. Simpson
If our nation wants to reduce global warming, air pollution and energy instability, we should invest only in the best energy options. Nuclear energy isn't one of them. -- Mark Z. Jacobson
There is no question we need an energy policy overhaul in America. A key part of that overhaul must include moving forward aggressively with expanding nuclear energy as a renewable energy source. Storing nuclear waste is an important piece of that effort. -- Erik Paulsen
Socialists find me too far left; Trotskyites not far enough; ecologists say I am too happy eating foie gras, defending nuclear energy and GM plants; feminists find I am not enough of a woman; anarchists a petit-bourgeois who has sold out because I believe in universal suffrage. -- Michel Onfray
I worked for the Office of Management and Budget in the White House, on nuclear energy policy. But I decided it would be much more fun to have a specialty food store, so I left Washington D.C. and moved to the Hamptons. And how glad I am that I did! -- Ina Garten
There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will. -- Albert Einstein
...the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant...has painfully affected the Soviet people, and shocked the international community. For the first time, we confront the real force of nuclear energy, out of control. -- Mikhail Gorbachev
Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless! -- William McDonough
Human beings should only use technology which if the worst case happens, it leads to an acceptable damage. Definitely nuclear energy is not in that category. I want an industrial world where people are allowed to make errors. Because human creativity has to do with being allowed to make errors. We want an error-friendly environment. -- Hans-Peter Durr
I know that nuclear is better than fossil fuels when it comes to carbon dioxide, but nuclear energy is by no means clean. We don't know what to do with the waste we already have and it seems like a bad idea to me to make more when we have so many cleaner options such as wind and solar. -- Sheryl Crow
Goodness, I know nothing about nuclear energy. -- James Dyson
Nuclear energy is the scientific achievement of the Iranian nation. -- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. -- John Langdon-Davies
India has the most technically ambitious and innovative nuclear energy program in the world, -- Siegfried Hecker

For the first time ever, we have confronted in reality the sinister power of uncontrolled nuclear energy. -- Mikhail Gorbachev
We should not just consume hydrocarbon fuel but use it to develop nuclear energy, hydro power and renewable energy sources. -- Vladimir Putin
I hope that none of the countries in the Middle East are planning anything but the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy. -- Abdallah II of Jordan
Energy security based on clean & reliable sources is essential for India's future. Nuclear energy has a key role in India's energy strategy. -- Narendra Modi
I believe nuclear energy in Jordan will be done in such a way where it is a public-private partnership so everyone can see exactly what's going on. -- Abdallah II
After the Cold War ended, there was an agreement between the former Soviet Union and America to convert weapons-grade nuclear materials into reactor-grade materials. So disarmament and nuclear energy actually are strongly linked. -- Susan Eisenhower
I think we ultimately ought to look to put all uranium enrichment and fuel reprocessing, if any is done, under multinational control. Those are the two technologies by which nuclear energy can be translated into nuclear weapons programmes. -- John Holdren
When historians look back on our century, they may remember it most, not for space travel or the release of nuclear energy, but as the time when the peoples of the world first came to take one another seriously. -- Huston Smith
Smug respectability, like the poor, we've had with us always. Today, however, ... such obtuseness is an indulgence we can no longer afford. The computer, nuclear energy for better or worse, and sudden, simultaneous influences upon everyone's TV screen have raised the ante and the risk considerably. -- Studs Terkel
Iran's Supreme Court has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons. President [Hassan] Rouhani has indicated Iran will never develop nuclear weapons. I've made clear that we respect the right of the Iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy in the context of Iran meeting its obligations. -- Barack Obama
He [Mikhail Gorbachev] has, as many great leaders have, impressive eyes....There's a kind of laser-beam stare, a forced quality, you get from Gorbachev that does not come across as something peaceful within himself. It's the look of a kind of human volcano, or he'd probably like to describe it as a human nuclear energy plant. -- Dan Rather
Today, nothing is unusual about a scientific discovery's being followed soon after by a technical application: The discovery of electrons led to electronics; fission led to nuclear energy. But before the 1880's, science played almost no role in the advances of technology. For example, James Watt developed the first efficient steam engine long before science established the equivalence between mechanical heat and energy. -- Edward Teller
A pound invested in energy efficiency buys seven times more energy solution than a pound invested in nuclear power. -- Zac Goldsmith
The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense. -- Sigmar Gabriel
Nuclear energy is a baseload - meaning it's power that you can run any time you want, day or night - and carbon-free. -- Nathan Myhrvold
As expanding economies continue to grow, the one source of energy that we can develop rapidly, cheaply and with next-to-no emissions is nuclear energy. -- Craig Stevens
If all of your electricity in your lifetime came from nuclear [energy], the waste from that lifetime of electricity would go in a Coke can. -- Stewart Brand
I believe nuclear energy in Jordan will be done in such a way where it is a public-private partnership so everyone can see exactly what's going on. -- Abdallah II
In terms of weapons, the best disarmament tool so far is nuclear energy. We have been taking down the Russian warheads, turning it into electricity. 10 percent of American electricity comes from decommissioned warheads. -- Stewart Brand
I assume we will have figured out a way to efficiently utilize solar energy and tied that to an efficient way to use nuclear energy in such a way that it doesn't pose a serious environmental issue. -- John Hickenlooper
We ought to be using nuclear power. It's a renewable source of energy. -- George W. Bush
The safest nuclear power or energy policy is to realize 'zero nuclear power. -- Naoto Kan

We have wide-ranging joint projects in the nuclear energy sphere, logistics, machine building and trade as a whole [with China]. -- Vladimir Putin
I have always emphasized that the Iranian people has the right to obtain nuclear technology and energy for peaceful purposes. -- Maurice Motamed
One point I like to stress is that we should think of coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear, as clean energy. -- Alex Epstein
I see that the West is beginning to separate the question of nuclear armament from the peaceful use of nuclear energy. -- Mir-Hossein Mousavi
I hope that none of the countries in the Middle East are planning anything but the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy. -- Abdallah II of Jordan
If nuclear energy is used for the sake of humanity, then I say yes. But if it is used destructively, then no. -- Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Nuclear power and fossil fuels are the choices of the past. Renewable energy is the choice of the future that is here today. -- Hermann Scheer
One thing you can say about nuclear power: the people who believe it is the silver bullet for America's energy problems never give up. -- Jeff Goodell
I would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, without pollution or global warming. -- Stephen Hawking
If we don't continue to pursue alternative, emissions-free energy sources like nuclear fuel, we are at risk of increasing our dependence on costly natural gas. -- Judy Biggert
If we have access to nuclear energy, that adds to our maneuverability in ensuring energy security as India marches on, on the path to accelerated development. -- Manmohan Singh
It's ridiculous that time and time again we need a radioactive cloud coming out of a nuclear power-station to remind us that atomic energy is extraordinarily dangerous. -- Pierre Schaeffer
My holy grail is fusion energy. Nuclear fusion has little to no radioactive waste. It's clean. It's very abundant. The fuels are everywhere. There are problems with fusion. -- Taylor Wilson
I am a particle physicist, which is the nearest branch to nuclear physics. So in that sense I was the sort of right connection with the subject of nuclear energy and so on. -- Abdus Salam
