Why Nuclear?
Nuclear power is the most reliable and scalable carbon-free energy ever created. Its tiny land and material footprint makes it the greenest energy on Earth. Beyond electricity, advanced nuclear technology can supply process heat for industry, support thermal energy networks, produce low-carbon fuels to decarbonize other sectors, and generate life-saving medical isotopes. Nuclear offers quality, family-sustaining, multi-generational jobs and tax revenue that underpin vibrant, healthy, and prosperous communities.
