Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

Clean energy sources, such as wind, solar, and nuclear, are best known for their environmental benefits - providing electricity while preserving clean air and reducing emissions. However, additional benefits of clean energy are that it provides good-paying jobs and helps grow local economies. This brief outlines how nuclear energy development can provide many benefits to the local communities in which they are located, including providing reliable employment, increasing local tax revenues, and decreasing consumer vulnerability to electricity price volatility.
