Free form poll: what's your #1 reason for supporting #nuclear? Please reply below and rt.

[Constellation Clean Energy @CEGCleanEnergy]

As the nation’s largest zero-carbon energy producer, our #nuclear fleet produces 18,700 megawatts of clean energy around-the-clock, 365 days-a-year – enough to power more than 20 million homes. #CleanEnergyWeek

[Frank Sturniolo @2BFrankS]

They say good things come in threes...well it's true! #NuclearEnergy helps protect our environment, improve air quality and support a strong economy. #CleanEnergyWeek2020

[Steven Buck @Atom_and_Steve]

Simple question: can you turn your lights on in the AM. Not so simple for everyone. Check out the best documentary in recent years, Juice: How Electricity Explains the World, on iTunes 6/2 https://t.co/27T0fF52Yg #NuclearMatters @juiceforall

Braidwood Generating Station recently completed its spring refueling outage two weeks faster than the national average and with no confirmed cases of COVID-19. See how workers safely refueled the reactor during a pandemic.

I'm so thankful for the support of my community. I promise that I dedicate each day to supporting you by providing safe, clean, reliable electricity for our daily lives. #nuclear #splitdontemit @ExelonGen @VOChannahon https://t.co/Nx4HDRQvYf

[Steven Buck @Atom_and_Steve]

And yet, some politicians / psuedoscientists want to throw it all out the window for something less reliable, not scalable, and more resource intensive.

[Constellation Clean Energy @CEGCleanEnergy]

As the largest source of clean energy, #Nuclearenergy is essential to form viable solutions to counter climate change. Annually, nuclear energy voids more than 528M tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which is the same as taking 111M passenger vehicles off the road.

[Constellation Clean Energy @CEGCleanEnergy]

We’re fully invested in inspiring, influencing, and supporting the next generation of women in STEM through our education programs. #IWD2020

[Steven Buck @Atom_and_Steve]

Let's go 80! Can't wait for more #nuclear plants to get their second license extension.

[Constellation Clean Energy @CEGCleanEnergy]

Today @NRC approved our application to operate Peach Bottom Units 2 & 3 through 2054! We’ve made significant investments in equipment and technology, and our workers have skillfully maintained the plant in peak condition throughout its operating life. https://t.co/DK5dPExFjm

Beautiful sunrise over LaSalle Station's switchyard as we continue through our Unit 1 refueling outage. It's a sign that today is going to be a great day. Fantastic progress so far and great teamwork by our employees and contractors. @ExelonGen

[Steven Buck @Atom_and_Steve]

@TMI_Unit1 @ExelonGen Thank you, @TMI_Unit1, for the decades of clean, reliable power you provided to millions in the community.

Oklo Inc. announces the launch of the Aurora, an advanced fission clean power plant developed to power communities with affordable, reliable, clean power. #climate #okloaurora https://t.co/C5PTjax2Hn

A most-masterful trolling. Got me good. Thank you, sir, for your wit. +1 follower.

[Zack Kanter @zackkanter]

One huge drawback of nuclear power is that it doesn’t dismantle systems of oppression - it only produces clean energy. This makes it unsuitable for solving the climate crisis, which isn’t just about the environment. https://t.co/tkgWSCWbQK

The @Europarl_EN would be best to listen to the scientists and understand that #nuclear must be part of the decarbonizing strategy. Don't follow the foolish footsteps of Germany. Show real commitment to addressing the #ClimateEmergency at #COP25 with a commitment to nuclear!

[Generation Atomic @Gen_Atomic]

The @Europarl_EN will vote *today* on a unified position going into #COP25. No one can doubt their commitment to addressing the #ClimateEmergency, but politics and ideology seem to be obscuring the evidence when it comes to #nuclear energy. THREAD

Everyone: But what about the waste??

Me: What about it?

[Constellation Clean Energy @CEGCleanEnergy]

We operate the largest #nuclear fleet in the U.S. We’re proud to provide zero-carbon, always-on energy to our customers and communities. https://t.co/0yF2KrFOGo

[Constellation Clean Energy @CEGCleanEnergy]

Dresden Station began its Unit 2 refueling outage today! It brings 1,500 additional workers to the area who will give a boost to the local economy to help replace 1/3 of the reactor’s fuel and perform 7,900 maintenance. #nuclear activities.https://t.co/VQWfCdykwD

Coming up in 15 minutes, @amandawisco from @NA_YGN is speaking on the @Gen_Atomic Sit In for Nuclear livestream. @Nuclear_Pride https://t.co/1VZjAaGLPs

[Steven Buck @Atom_and_Steve]

Everyone should be on this Sit In. Such interesting discussions already from the 4-5 CDT slot (where's my coffee). So much more coming up in the next 10 hours

[Generation Atomic @Gen_Atomic]

We sit in solidarity with our brothers and sisters across the planet that today will #StandUpForNuclear. For those that can't make it to one of these incredible events, join us for a live-streamed webinar featuring over 30 guest speakers, live music, and surprises!

[Steven Buck @Atom_and_Steve]

With Public Info being one of our @NA_YGN core pillars, I have helped in many school visits, #STEM fairs, and museum events where we presented nuclear science to kids and adults. These opportunities are truly rewarding and I am thankful for my peers for joining me #NuclearSciWeek
