• National Center for Policy Analysis Finds Nuclear Energy as Best Option for U.S. Energy Future

  A recent report from the National Center for Policy Analysis examines the growing demand for U.S. energy needs and the requirements that this energy comes from a renewable or carbon-free source. The National Center for Policy Analysis finds in its report that “to meet this growing demand nuclear energy remains one of the safest and [...] Read More...

• Huffington Post: “Nuclear Energy is Essential to a Green Future and our Economic Competitiveness.”

  We’ve said it before, but we’ll let someone else say it this time, “with 10 percent unemployment and a government determined to stimulate economic growth and put people back to work, what better use for our stimulus programs than building a series of nuclear facilities around the country?” This astute statement is from a piece by [...] Read More...

• AREVA Leads the Way in Tackling Climate Change, Part I

  by Mary Douglas Reprinted from AREVA Energy Business, Issue 8 Climate change is a reality and some of its impacts may already be irreversible. The Catlin Arctic Survey team has found out that most of the ice in the region is first-year ice that will melt next summer. Within a decade, the North Pole will turn into [...] Read More...

• Copenhagen and Climate Change: Chart of the Day

  Germany’s Der Spiegel has a chart on their website that we think best illustrates the key role nuclear energy has to play in any climate change plan. Not only is nuclear energy baseload and reliable, but it’s also much, much less expensive: Using AREVA’s own EPR as a baseline for the cost of nuclear energy, it’s [...] Read More...

• Why Nuclear Energy Matters in U.S. Climate Discussions

  by Jarret Adams As the U.S. Congress gears up to address climate legislation, it’s hard to know what the best proposal is to address the daunting issue of climate change. There seem to be about as many proposals as there are organizations with a stake in energy and climate issues. But, here in one word is [...] Read More...
