(DOES NOT FULLY MATCH AUDIO)
SPRING MEANS WARM WEATHER, CHURNING AIR-CONDITIONERS, AND RISING ELECTRIC BILLS. BUT, THOSE BILLS DON'T CLIMB AS FAST WHEN NUCLEAR ENERGY IS THE SOURCE. NUCLEAR-POWER PLANTS HAVE THE LOWEST PRODUCTION COSTS OF ANY MAJOR SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY. WHAT'S MORE, NUCLEAR-POWER PLANTS ARE PRODUCING ELECTRICITY AT RECORD-HIGH LEVELS OF EFFICIENCY. THIS PERFORMANCE IS BRINGING CALLS TO INCREASE USE OF NUCLEAR POWER. ACCORDING TO THE U-S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, TODAY'S NUCLEAR POWER OFFERS STABILITY AND RELIABILITY IN AN OTHERWISE-VOLATILE ENERGY ENVIRONMENT. TWO-THIRDS OF THE URANIUM THAT POWERS NUCLEAR PLANTS IS PRODUCED IN NORTH AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA. THESE LOW COSTS--AND THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM DECADES OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE--ARE PAYING REAL DIVIDENDS FOR AMERICAN CONSUMERS TODAY--AND, WITH THE RIGHT GOVERNMENT POLICIES, CAN CONTINUE TO DO SO, IN THE FUTURE. THE U-S CHAMBER IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST BUSINESS ORGANIZATION--REPRESENTING OVER THREE-MILLION BUSINESSES.
