Nuclear Matters
🕸️ This Halloween, we’re exploring what a world would look like without nuclear power...and the facts are spooky. Read on...if you dare. 🦇
Greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide (CO2) are the poison in climate change’s witches brew 🧙♀️ – but nuclear energy can help break the spell. 🪄 By preventing over 437 million metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year, nuclear energy has the power to mitigate climate change impacts and keep our air clean of harmful pollutants that contribute to acid rain, smog, lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
A world without nuclear energy would mean a world without inspiring, clean energy innovation. But thanks to bipartisan legislative momentum and the support of nuclear advocates nationwide, there is an influx of funding for next-generation nuclear technologies and to bring shuttered nuclear power plants, like Michigan’s Palisades Nuclear Plant and Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island Unit 1, back to life. 🧟 These "zombie" reactors are more alive than ever before, with plans to generate clean power and come back online with increased reliability and adaptability for the future energy system we need.
Without nuclear energy – the energy source that can reliably power the grid 24/7/365 – we risk facing energy shortages and increased volatility in energy prices. As the nuclear industry breathes new life into these power plants and continues to invest in new nuclear infrastructure, we’re paving the way for a more resilient energy future that can power your porch lights during trick or treating, keep your jack-o-lanterns illuminated and keep your heating units on all fall and winter long. 🎃
👻 Now that you’ve seen how losing nuclear power would haunt us, we must ask: which of these scenarios is the spookiest?
If you want to hear just how scary a world it could be without your advocacy efforts to support nuclear energy, join us at our “New Age of Advocacy” webinar in December. Keep an eye out for more details on speakers and timing in the coming weeks.
Until next time,

Iran says missile production unaffected by Israel strikes
AFP, Tehran
Published: 30 October ,2024:
Iran said on Wednesday that its production of missiles remained intact, following Israeli air strikes targeting such facilities last week.
“There has been no interruption in the process of producing offensive systems such as missiles,” Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh told reporters.
“The enemy tried to damage both our defensive and offensive systems,” he added.
Israel launched strikes on military sites in Iran on Saturday, citing Tehran’s October 1 missile attack that followed the killing of Iran-backed militant leaders and a Revolutionary Guards commander.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said later that the strikes “hit Iran’s defense capabilities and missile production.”
Iran’s armed forces said the attack killed four soldiers and caused “limited damage” to a few radar systems. Iranian media said a civilian was also killed.
Israel has warned Iran against retaliating, while Tehran, asserting it does not seek war, vowed an “appropriate response.”
