In Georgia, new nuclear power units can help stir economy

In Georgia, new nuclear power units can help stir economy
The U.S. Department of Energy predicts that 40% of the U.S. population will reside in the South by 2030, greatly increasing electricity demands. Nuclear power will be the only energy source that can meet those demands because of its ability to handle large-scale generation, according to Buzz Miller, executive vice president of nuclear development for Southern Co. Citing the company's 30-year track record, Miller writes that Southern's new nuclear units will add jobs and will create the low-carbon energy needed to meet demands. GreenLaborJournal.org
