The energy landscape in the United States is changing.
Nearly 1 in 3 American coal plants are projected to retire over the coming decade, and studies show that many of those retiring plants could be converted to nuclear energy.
That leaves many communities to wonder — would nuclear be a good neighbor?
After all, what makes a good neighbor?
Is it someone who’s reliable? Clean? Engaged in the community? Not too loud?
Would you believe that you can find all of those qualities in a nuclear power plant?
