The Port Gibson Mayor and Board of Alderman believes that the generation of nuclear energy is a safe, low-cost, emission-free energy source for use by the American public and that nuclear energy has no air emissions and therefore helps to maintain a clean air environment for all of Claiborne County as well as the nation as a whole. The Port Gibson Mayor and Board of Alderman supports the efforts of Systems Energy Resources, Inc. and Entergy to construct a second nuclear reactor at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Claiborne County, Mississippi.
