Hausman questions nuclear power use as a solution to cutting emissions

March 19, 2025 The Baltimore Banner

The Baltimore Banner spoke to the Ford School's Catherine Hausman asking for her predictions on the future of nuclear energy. The article noted that a recent study concluded the U.S. would have to increase nuclear output by nearly five-fold to meet their emission goals affordably. "The more coal you burn, the more asthma you cause. The more natural gas you burn, the more climate change you cause... And the more nuclear sites you have, the higher the probability of an accident," Hausman said.
