Closing zero-emissions nuclear plants results in more fossil fuel generation & carbon emissions.
Nuclear power is our largest & most reliable clean energy source. The broad consensus is that nuclear is essential to make net-zero a reality.
NY fossil fuel generation jumped more than 20% after nuclear closures. Closing nuclear causes immediate increases in fossil fuel generation and CO2 emissions. Those who want to close nuclear need to face honestly what the result is. It's major climate action defeat!
