READER SCRIPT
(DOES NOT FULLY MATCH AUDIO)
TODAY, ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE HOMES AND BUSINESSES ACROSS AMERICA GETS THE ELECTRICITY IT NEEDS FROM NUCLEAR ENERGY. 100-PLUS NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, OPERATING IN 31 STATES, ARE PRODUCING ELECTRICITY AT RECORD-HIGH LEVELS OF EFFICIENCY. THIS WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE IS WINNING CONVERTS, WHO BELIEVE OUR NATION MUST MAKE GREATER USE OF NUCLEAR POWER, TO MEET FUTURE ENERGY CHALLENGES. ACCORDING TO ROBERT JOHNSON, OF THE ELECTRIC CONSUMERS ALLIANCE, TODAY'S NUCLEAR POWER IS TURNING HEADS--AND CHANGING MINDS. THE EXPERIENCE GAINED AND THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM DECADES OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE ARE PAYING REAL DIVIDENDS FOR AMERICAN CONSUMERS WHO WANT AN AFFORDABLE, DOMESTIC SUPPLY OF RELIABLE ENERGY. JOHNSON USED TO BE SOMETHING OF A SKEPTIC--BUT HAS SINCE STUDIED THE RECORD OBJECTIVELY, AND IS NOW AMONG MANY OTHER FORMER DOUBTERS WHO ARE NOW ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORTERS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY. THE ELECTRIC CONSUMERS ALLIANCE IS A COALITION OF CONSUMER GROUPS IN ALL 50 STATES. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE BENEFITS OF SAFE, DEPENDABLE NUCLEAR ENERGY, VISIT W-W-W-DOT-"N-E-I"-DOT-ORG.
