Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for joining us today.
I'll start with Professor Damodaran.
Professor, in your opening statement, you talked about how our dependence on fossil fuels decreased more from 1975 to 1995 than at any other time because of the adoption of nuclear energy. You also, I believe, used the term the “hypocrisy” of environmental activists in their bias against nuclear energy.
Can you explain why this bias may be there in the first place and what some of the benefits of adopting nuclear energy may be?
