U2 guitarist The Edge backs nuclear power as a solution to climate problem
"Speaking on Wednesday on a panel for Dublin investment firm VentureWave Capital, Evans said: 'We need to think very deeply about whether our current strategy of renewable energy is going to make it. We’ve got to be prepared to rethink certain things.'
While he didn’t refer specifically to Ireland, he added: 'We have to open our minds to third generation nuclear energy being a possible solution.'
'The amount of impact on our land in terms of solar photovoltaic cells and windmills, it’s such a huge amount of ground that you have to dedicate to these renewable resources, is it really practical?'"
What's the significance of an endorsement of nuclear energy by the guitarist of a rock band? Says Eric McErlain, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI): "We’re getting ever closer to a very important cultural moment. Glad to see The Edge has come aboard."
