Listener Aaron asks referencing a NASA study, has nuclear energy saved lives? I saw this in an article on South Korea's Multi-Pronged Approach to Boost Nuclear Energy and wanted to get your thoughts: "For years, nuclear proponents have argued that the relative dangers of nuclear energy are vastly exaggerated. In fact, a 2013 study by NASA scientists found that overall, nuclear energy has actually saved lives that would have otherwise been lost due to causes associated with air pollution from the combustion of fossil fuels that nuclear has displaced. The model made by the scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute found that over the past 50 years, nuclear had saved an incredible 1.8 million lives – a number that has surely grown considerably in the decade since the study was published." -------------- Submit a question for The New Next: https://www.matthewadjensen.com/podcast Connect with Matt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewadjensen Connect with Mike on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-mcvey-308aa326
