The letter argues against Michael McDowell's call to repeal Ireland's ban on nuclear power, suggesting that clean energy advancements like autonomous vehicles and shared electric fleets could reduce reliance on private cars, thus decreasing urban sprawl.

They also challenge McDowell's claim that nuclear power is necessary for supporting renewable energy, noting that existing backup systems like batteries and interconnectors can suffice. The letter highlights concerns about the cost and reliability of nuclear power, contrasting it with the potential of renewable energy and modern storage solutions.
