Let’s Get You Up to Speed on Uranium…

The average citizen also doesn’t know nuclear power’s vital role in the American economy.

America gets 19.5% of its electricity from nuclear power
It powers about 23 million homes, or about twice the amount of homes in California

Without nuclear power, the lights would go off for many Americans.

Nuclear energy is responsible for about 10% of global electricity production. If the world wants to cut carbon emissions and keep the lights on, nuclear energy’s share of production must grow.

Nuclear energy provides “base load” power.

Base load power is consistent, dependable power. It’s always there and always on. It is the foundation of a healthy electric power grid.

Base load power contrasts with solar and wind power, which can fail to produce power during the night (in the case of solar) and during periods of calm (in the case of wind).

The energy content of uranium is approximately 3 million times greater than that of fossil fuels.

To put it in perspective, realize that 1/10 of an ounce of uranium contains the equivalent energy of 6,613,868 pounds of coal.
