The publication dove into a Scioto Analysis survey of 18 economists to weigh the pros and cons of nuclear energy. One economist featured was Iryna Topolyan, PhD, professor of economics at the Carl H. Lindner College of Business.
“The demand for electricity is projected to increase substantially year after year,” said Topolyan. “It is imperative to find ways to increase supply with low climate impact. Nuclear energy looks like a good candidate. My reservation is that, within the long time frame it takes to build and bring online a new nuclear plant, (far safer nuclear) fusion may become a viable and much more attractive option.”
