Ted Nordhaus

Ted Nordhaus (born 1965) is an American author and the director of research at The Breakthrough Institute. He has co-edited and written a number of books, including Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility (2007) and An Ecomodernist Manifesto (2015) with collaborator Michael Shellenberger.[1][2][3]

The two were described by Slate as "ecomodernists," while the authors have described themselves as the "bad boys" of environmentalism.[4][5] Like Shellenberger, Nordhaus generally advocates for increased use of natural resources through an embrace of modernization, technological development, and increasing U.S. economic growth, usually through a combination of nuclear power and urbanization.[6][7][8][9] Many of Nordhaus' positions have been criticized by environmental scientists and academics,[4][10][11][12] while reception from writers and journalists in the popular press have been mixed.[13][14][15][16][17][18]
