Nuclear energy production does not involve the combustion of carbon-based fuel, therefore does not contribute greenhouse gases to the Earth’s atmosphere.
Aside from initial production costs, nuclear energy produces electricity at a low cost – this would benefit energy consumers greatly, as coal prices continue to rise.[1]
Hydrogen produced during nuclear energy generation can be used to fuel passenger vehicles, reducing emissions on the highway.
Nuclear power plants would produce energy within the United States, lessening our dependence on foreign sources of energy.
