ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE ELECTRIC COMPANIES UNDERSTAND THAT CONCERNS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE ARE GROWING. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE INVESTING IN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES WITH LOW--OR EVEN NO--GREENHOUSE-GAS EMISSIONS. ACCORDING TO THE NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE, NUCLEAR ENERGY ALREADY SUPPLIES NEARLY 75-PERCENT OF THE ELECTRICITY THAT COMES FROM SOURCES THAT DO NOT EMIT GREENHOUSE GASES, OR OTHER POLLUTANTS, INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. THEY ARE VITAL TO THE NATION'S EFFORTS TO MEET RISING ELECTRICITY DEMAND--WHILE KEEPING THE AIR CLEAN. THAT'S WHY PLANS ARE ON THE DRAWING BOARD TO BUILD AS MANY AS 30 NEW NUCLEAR PLANTS OVER THE NEXT 15 TO 20 YEARS. THE NATION NEEDS PROVEN SOLUTIONS IN ORDER TO KEEP ITS ECONOMY GROWING--AND TO STRENGTHEN ITS FUTURE ENERGY SECURITY. NUCLEAR ENERGY IS ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS THAT THE U-S CAN DEPEND ON. AMERICA'S 104 COMMERCIAL NUCLEAR PLANTS ARE RELIABLY PRODUCING ELECTRICITY AT RECORD-HIGH LEVELS OF EFFICIENCY. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT W-W-W-"N-E-I"-DOT-ORG.
