ACCORDING TO THE "DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY", THE U-S WILL NEED 30-PERCENT MORE ELECTRICITY, BY THE YEAR 20-40, TO DRIVE THE NATION'S ECONOMY--AND SUSTAIN ITS QUALITY-OF-LIFE. HOW CAN AMERICA SATISFY THAT DEMAND, IN A CLEAN AND AFFORDABLE WAY? ACCORDING TO "G-E HITACHI", ONE OBVIOUS ANSWER IS NUCLEAR ENERGY: ITS VALUE TO AMERICAN SOCIETY IS WELL-PROVEN. FOR DECADES NOW, NUCLEAR-ENERGY FACILITIES THAT OPERATE IN 30 STATES HAVE RELIABLY GENERATED LARGE AMOUNTS OF ELECTRICITY, ON A "24/SEVEN"-BASIS. THEY'VE DONE SO WITHOUT POLLUTING THE AIR--AND WITH STABLE ELECTRICITY-PRICES. IF THE U-S IS SERIOUS ABOUT MEETING ITS CLEAN-ENERGY GOALS, THEN IT MUST PROPERLY VALUE NUCLEAR ENERGY'S ABILITY TO STABILIZE THE ELECTRIC-GRID--AND MEET RISING ELECTRICITY-DEMAND--WITH CARBON-FREE POWER. THAT MEANS KEEPING THE NATION'S EXISTING FACILITIES IN OPERATION--AND EXPANDING BEYOND THE FIVE NEW REACTORS THAT ARE BEING BUILT IN THE SOUTHEAST. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CLEAN, RELIABLE, AND AFFORDABLE ROLE THAT NUCLEAR ENERGY PLAYS, VISIT "N-E-I"-DOT-ORG.
