Support for Nuclear Energy: Cleaner Power, Energy Security, and High-Paying Jobs.

The resolution calls for supporting the expansion of domestic nuclear energy and advanced nuclear technologies. This potentially means lower energy costs in the future, greater reliability of electricity supply, and the creation of high-paying jobs in the sector. This development also aims to increase the nation's energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality.
Key points
Energy Security: Expanding nuclear power aims to make the US independent of foreign fuel supplies and increase grid resilience against failures and extreme weather.
Climate and Environment: Nuclear energy is recognized as a clean power source that significantly reduces carbon emissions, contributing to better air quality.
Economy and Jobs: Investments in new reactors and maintaining the existing fleet are expected to create hundreds of thousands of well-paying jobs, with average salaries 50% higher than in other power generation facilities.
Innovation: Promoting advanced nuclear reactors (smaller and safer) is intended to streamline licensing and construction, lowering initial costs and accelerating technology deployment.
Medicine and Space: Nuclear technology is crucial for producing medical isotopes (diagnosing and treating diseases) and for space missions and military propulsion.
