The next administration must make critical energy policy decisions. It will need to reduce carbon emissions to slow global warming in a way that enhances our energy security and keeps our economy growing.

Meeting these challenges requires technological innovation and a renewed commitment to energy efficiency and conservation. After all, a strong domestic energy policy is a crucial part of our national security. Fortunately, the next administration will find growing support for nuclear energy among organized labor, political leaders from all parties and energy experts from around the world.

Nuclear energy already provides more than 70% of our nation’s carbonfree electricity. For the future, energy companies are preparing to build advanced reactor technology to meet our fast-growing electricity needs in a manner that doesn’t emit greenhouse gases.
