To the Editor:
I was just here on LBI for a week but couldn’t ignore the recent letter from Frank Smith (“Offshore Wind Now, SMR Nuclear When Available,” 7/3). Being a licensed engineer myself and working in the energy industry, I have to strongly agree with Mr. Smith’s position on wind energy. I see wind and solar as viable elements in the future energy grid, just as we have had in the past with the elements of hydroelectric, coal, natural gas and nuclear.
Mr. Smith rightfully points out the progress in the small modular reactor (SMR) industry.
