After explaining the benefits of nuclear energy, Brown discussed generating energy from natural sources. "We must develop more renewables sources, such as wind, solar, and biopower," she said. "Industry leaders, business, and the general public must also become more energy efficient. That is the key to our future." Source: R&D Magazine - March 6, 2012
