The cost and availability of energy impacts many aspects of your life.
NGNP and You
The Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) offers a new energy solution for the industries your family depends on for gas, plastics and much more. Balancing a tight budget is tough, but for many families, rising energy prices are making it even more difficult to make ends meet.1
There are four coupled energy challenges facing your family and U.S. manufacturers in a global economy: the rising costs for premium fuels such as oil and natural gas, dependence on foreign sources for these premium fuels, concerns about carbon dioxide emissions, and the use of fossil fuels for hydrogen production.
The production of liquid fuels, like gasoline, requires a large amount of process heat. The heat to refine the fuel is produced by burning a portion of that premium fossil fuel.
The use of nuclear energy to produce process heat for these applications will mean reduced fossil fuel use. Carbon dioxide emissions are also substantially reduced in the industrial process. Limiting emissions is good for the environment and could potentially provide an energy cost savings for industry and your family.2
