Gore Letter on Nukes and Climate Change
November 3, 2000
Mr. Harvey Wasserman
Senior Advisor
Nuclear Information and Resources Center
755 Eau Claire Avenue
Bexley, Ohio 43209
Dear Mr. Wasserman:
Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding nuclear energy and the Kyoto
Protocol. Let me restate for you my long held policy with regard to nuclear
energy. I do not support any increased reliance on nuclear energy. Moreover,
I have disagreed with those who would classify nuclear energy as clean
or renewable. In fact, you will note that the electricity restructuring
legislation proposed by the Administration specifically excluded both nuclear
and large scale hydro-energy, and instead promoted increased investment
in energy efficiency and renewable energy. It is my view that climate change
policies should do the same.
Sincerely,
Al Gore
