Nuclear power is safe, clean, and reliable—the largest source of carbon-free electricity in the U.S. But the benefits of nuclear energy extend far beyond carbon-free electricity. Nuclear energy creates jobs and can decarbonize industries that are struggling to reach net zero, paving the path toward a clean energy future for generations ahead.
It’s time to choose a future built for the next generation.
It’s time to choose nuclear energy.
Advantages of Nuclear
- Nuclear fights climate change. Nuclear energy provides large amounts of 24/7/365 carbon-free electricity now, which is crucial to protect the environment.
- Nuclear protects our air. Nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter and mercury: all things you don’t want in the air you breathe. Nuclear energy provides clean power without a trace of those pollutants.
- Nuclear generates jobs. Nuclear energy provides well-paid, long-term jobs and supports local economies with millions of dollars in state and local tax revenues.
- Nuclear provides energy security. Nations are waking up to the fact that they are more secure with nuclear in their energy portfolio—especially with the U.S. as their chosen partner.
