Marilyn Brown, professor in the School of Public Policy, was quoted in the WABE, July 25, article, “Study: US Unlikely To See New Nuclear Power Anytime Soon.” The School of Public Policy is part of the Georgia Tech Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.

Excerpt:

But, she said, her outlook for the future isn’t quite as grim as Morgan’s. She said she would like to see the U.S. build a few more nuclear reactors, but she also believes that renewable sources of energy and battery technology will keep improving.

“I think we can manage no new nuclear. I just don’t want to see a bunch of good plants retired,” Brown said
