Instead of building more windmills, which only produce 17 percent of our carbon-free electricity, or solar farms, which only produce 4 percent of our carbon-free electricity, the best way to make sure the United States has a reliable source of inexpensive, efficient, carbon-free electricity is to extend the licenses of our existing nuclear reactors.
Alexander argues for extending nuclear reactor licenses over investing in wind and solar energy.

More from Lamar Alexander
Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, I think, had the best punditry of the weekend today. He said no one should be surprised that a Senate Republican majority is going to vote on a Republican president's nominee.
This means, if the bill we hope the Senate approves today is signed into law, Congress will have increased funding for the National Institutes of Health by $9 billion since 2015, a 30 percent increase.
