If you have them already running, I feel it's a mistake to close them and focus on coal. source Unverified

Rapidly phase out the production of electric power from nuclear sources, decommission all existing nuclear power plants [...]. (2023) source Unverified

It’s time to stop building new nuclear facilities, phase out the ones that exist, and focus on clean energy for the future. (2025) source Unverified

If it is necessary to be cautious about the ability to extend our reactors, I hope that no nuclear reactor in a state of production will be closed in the future [...] except, of course, if safety reasons were necessary. (2022) source Unverified

But we have to also do no harm, which means to keep the existing nuclear fleet online, [...] So let's not pull that down [...]. (2021) source Unverified

But preventing existing nuclear power plants from shutting down (and largely being replaced by cheap gas) is a very cost-effective mitigation strategy. source Unverified

Friends of the Earth’s nuclear campaign works to reduce risks for people and the environment by supporting efforts to close existing nuclear reactors. source Unverified

If we’re serious about solving climate change, [...] the first thing we should do is keep safe reactors operating. (2021) source Unverified

We simply can’t afford to lose our existing clean energy infrastructure, especially our U.S. reactors. (2021) source Unverified

The choice is clear: either atomic energy is stopped promptly, or it will be stopped later after a nuclear plant meltdown. (1979) source Unverified

I urge you to take action to preserve our existing nuclear fleet and prevent further closures. (2021) source Unverified

It would be imprudent to say we have 20 percent of our energy [from nuclear] so shut them all down. (2011) source Unverified

Countries should be increasing nuclear power generation! It is insane from a national security standpoint & bad for the environment to shut them down. (2022) source Unverified

the only way to do this was to totally get rid of the nuclear power plants. (2014) source Unverified

The premature closure or the decision not to extend the operating lives of nuclear plants in some countries may well be a major mistake[...]. (2020) source Unverified

Friends of the Earth strongly supports such a nuclear phase-out and believes that all nuclear power can and should be replaced[...]. (2019) source Unverified
