As the need for clean energy grows globally, nuclear science and technology provides reliable, local energy (homegrown) options that have near zero emissions. |
||
 | ||
|
The International Energy Agency estimates world electricity demand will double by 2030. The U.S. Dept. of Energy projects national demand will increase 45% in twenty years. |
|
| ||
|
Nuclear energy is not subject to unreliable weather or climate conditions or insufficient supplies of natural resources. |
|
| ||
|
Maintaining or increasing nuclear energy's share in the national energy mix will reduce volatility in electricity prices and save hydrocarbons for other uses. |
|
| ||
|
Nuclear power is the nation's largest expandable source of electricity that will help meet clean air requirements by controlling emissions of greenhouse gases and harmful particulates. |
