The power plants, which use a nuclear fission process to produce the heat to boil the water, and then using a turbine, it produces the electricity, which can help the U.S. in helping reducing the dependence on foreign
According to Nuclear Energy Institute web site, NEI is a policy organization of the technologies and nuclear energy industry. They participate in global policy making process and in the national. It is to make sure that the policies of formation and promote technologies and nuclear energy around the world and the United States. “Nuclear Energy generates 63% of America’s carbon-free Electricity (which is 2/3 of the power), Hydro Electric has 20%, solar, wind and thermal has 17.1% of the energy. The U.S. needs nuclear energy because it is reliable, affordable, and is clean air energy. It also has economic growth, job creation, and has value of electricity diversity. According to Economic Times, The government will be taking some major policy initiatives to help pick up hydro power generations, improve and speed up the current use of the energy-efficient LED bulbs. “They have been selling in such large volumes, that their prices have went below Rs 60, coal, powered and renewable energy” minister Plyush
