- Abundant, Clean, Baseload Energy: Nuclear energy offers a reliable 24/7 power source, essential for meeting the world’s rising energy demand while supporting environmental targets.
- Market-Driven Innovation: The pledge demonstrates how private sector initiative in nuclear technology can drive a sustainable energy future and unlock new opportunities for economic prosperity.
- U.S. Government’s Role: To make this vision a reality, the government must cut red tape, remove regulatory barriers, and allow free-market forces to lead the way in nuclear energy development.
A cross-industry group of large energy users signed a pledge supporting the goal of at least tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050.
This is the first time major businesses beyond the nuclear sector have come together to publicly back an extensive and concerted expansion of nuclear power to meet increasing global energy demand. They also urge other energy users to support the goal to triple nuclear energy. The collective call, facilitated by World Nuclear Association, brings together global companies recognizing their need for nuclear’s clean, firm and abundant energy to power their future growth, while also meeting goals of greater energy resiliency and security. This group of companies acknowledge government support and advocate for equal access to finance for nuclear energy.
