What if instead of viewing nuclear power

as destructive,

we view it as a force for

energy independence.

Nuclear power has the lowest life cycle emissions

of all energy sources,

producing only three tons of CO2 per gigawatt hour of electricity.

The case against nuclear power

was never based on science.

What if this technology offers our best hope for the future?

A future where wars aren't funded

by our addiction to fossil fuels.

A future where energy is clean.

A future where electricity

finally makes its way to

the 700 million people on Earth

who still don't have access to it.

The idea that nuclear power is bad

is costing us that future.

And it's time to let go of it.
