Nuclear energy is essential to a cost-stable, clean, and safe future. Advanced nuclear energy delivers carbon-free, around-the-clock power that supports New York’s statewide grid and keeps electricity reliable for homes and businesses.
Cost-stable: Nuclear plants have long operating lives and predictable fuel and operating costs that help stabilize electricity bills and protect families and businesses from significant price swings. Cost-stable nuclear energy supports economic planning, safeguard household budgets, and strengthens local employers and communities.
Clean: Nuclear energy produces no greenhouse gases during operation, making it one of the most powerful tools at achieving deep decarbonization. It also helps improve air quality and protect public health while meeting New York’s clean energy goals.
Safe: Modern reactor design and advanced safety systems, layered protections, and improved waste-handling practices, combined with robust oversight and real-time monitoring, make today’s nuclear energy one of the safest forms of energy generation.
What does this mean for New York?
A cost-stable, clean, and safe nuclear fleet strengthens grid reliability, creates good-paying jobs, and protects families and communities from pollution and fluctuating energy prices.
