Urge Policymakers to Protect Nuclear Energy

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is seeking to advance its rulemaking to address critical threats to our energy grid and help keep nuclear power plants operating. As you know, nuclear energy is reliable and resilient, operating during some of the most challenging circumstances, such as the recent natural disasters, continuously providing power to our homes and communities.

Without government action, nuclear plants will continue to face the threat of imminent closure. We need FERC to prioritize this issue. Energy Secretary Perry said in August that America relies on an “all of the above” mix of energy sources, nuclear being one of the more important. We need your help to urge FERC to move forward with a new rule that will properly value the reliability and resiliency that nuclear brings to our energy grid.

Right now, there is a short window of opportunity to submit public comments to FERC. Tell FERC what nuclear energy means to you and why the government should take the necessary steps to protect it.

Thank you for supporting America's nuclear plants! Now tell your friends and family to do the same by asking them to join Nuclear Matters.

Here are some of the things you should tell your elected officials when you call them:

Nuclear plants churn out electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week and produce zero carbon emissions.
Davis-Besse Power Station in Oak Harbor, and the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry, provide 11 percent of the electricity used in Ohio – enough to power more than 2.8 million homes.
They have an onsite fuel supply that doesn’t require a transportation network for daily fuel delivery.
But we need your help to help protect our nuclear energy plants.
Please support legislation this year to help enact the Zero Emission Nuclear Resource Program (ZEN).
This program will be critical to ensuring our nuclear power plants continue contributing to our economy and powering our homes.
