Krupp on nuclear power
Krupp has endorsed the Climate Stewardship Act proposed by Republican John McCain and Democrat Joe Lieberman. The proposed act was defeated when it was first voted on in the Senate. SUbsequently McCain and Lieberman watered it down to include subsidies for nuclear power. In an interview in June 2005 Krupp said that while still concerned about nuclear waste and reactor safety Environmental Defense would be supporting the bill.
"If we believe that Global Warming is very serious, the overriding environmental issue of our day, then I think we have to have an open mind and certainly ask the serious tough questions about nuclear power that, um, need to be asked. And we should not just throw it off the table from the get-go," he said.[2]
