If we want to fight the climate crisis, we must embrace nuclear power

"New York's governor, Andrew Cuomo, a key figure behind the move, said that the shuttering of Indian Point brought us "a big step closer to achieving our aggressive clean energy goals". It's hard to reconcile that optimism with the data that's recently come out. The first full month without the plant has seen a 46% increase in the average carbon intensity of statewide electric generation compared to when Indian Point was fully operational."
