Morris: Nuclear energy could solve global warming
In this photo taken with a slow shutter speed, taillights trace the path of a motor vehicle at the Naughton Power Plant in Kemmerer, Wyo. Bill Gates' company TerraPower announced it had chosen Kemmerer for a nontraditional, sodium-cooled nuclear reactor that will bring on workers from a local coal-fired power plant scheduled to close soon.

The Rev. Dr. G. Scott Morris, M.D., is founder of Church Health. He is a regular contributor to The Daily Memphian.
Opinion: With nuclear power, once the reactor that TerraPower has developed is turned on, it will produce enough energy for 250,000 to 400,000 homes every minute of every day with essentially no risk to the planet.
