Reliably, efficiently and safely, nuclear generators make about 20 percent of America’s electricity – and have been doing so for decades. As more attention is focused on climate change, nuclear energy has re-emerged as our best proven way to produce large scale, carbon dioxide-free and emission-free generation.
Southern Company subsidiary Georgia Power and partners — Oglethorpe Power Corporation, Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia and Dalton Utilities — are on a path to supply more nuclear energy to the Southeast by 2016, setting the stage for nuclear power to answer our national needs for clean energy.
