We should remember that there are nations which meet more than 30 to 60% of their power requirements through the nuclear power system.

Nuclear power is an important part of our domestic fuel mix.

Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.

Nuclear power is here to stay, and we need to support a strong domestic uranium industry.

If we are to meet the growing electricity demand in the United States without significantly increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, we must maintain a diverse supply of electricity, and nuclear power must be part of that mix.

Nuclear power is cost-competitive with other low-carbon technology and is a crucial part of our energy mix, along with new sources of power such as shale gas.

The world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety.

Every dollar spent on nuclear is one less dollar spent on clean renewable energy and one more dollar spent on making the world a comparatively dirtier and a more dangerous place, because nuclear power and nuclear weapons go hand in hand.

We have every interest in seeing that the military use of nuclear power will be contained.

Nuclear energy is a baseload - meaning it's power that you can run any time you want, day or night - and carbon-free.
