Dr. Moore Makes Trip to South Carolina to Tout Benefits of Nuclear Energy
On June 17 and 18, CASEnergy Co-Chair Dr. Patrick Moore visited South Carolina to meet with media, influencers, and students to promote the economic and clean air benefits of the nuclear energy. 
Dr. Moore began his trip by addressing more than 20 members of the Beaufort Kiwanis Club in a 30-minute speech and answered questions about the role of nuclear as part of a clean energy policy.
He highlighted the numerous job opportunities available in the nuclear energy sector to students and faculty at Lowcountry Technical College and the College of Charleston. Prior to the Lowcountry event, Dr. Moore sat down with Josh Dawsey of the Beaufort Gazette to outline the economic and environmental benefits of new nuclear energy in South Carolina.
Dr. Moore also discussed the environmental benefits of nuclear energy with the Coastal Conservation League in Charleston, and the S.C. State Ports Authority.
While in South Carolina, Dr. Moore addressed key regional media in conjunction with his meetings with business and environmental leaders and students in South Carolina, including meetings with top daily and business press, The Beaufort Gazette, Charleston Regional Business Journal, and a popular local news talk radio program, The Rocky D Show.
In these interviews Dr. Moore discussed CASEnergy’s Policy Roadmap for Clean Energy as it pertains to South Carolina, with regard to the enormous job creation potential of new nuclear - especially relevant in a state with four new reactors under consideration by the NRC, and with nearly half of its nuclear engineers eligible for retirement by 2013.
