There was a time not that long ago when electricity was not universally available. Up until 1925, fewer than half the homes in the United States had any electricity, and even then, it was mainly supplied to the cities of America. Today, most of us cannot imagine life without it.

Indeed, prudent planning and responsible regulation ensure uninterrupted electricity on demand throughout the country. The challenge now is transitioning from simply supplying electricity to doing so more efficiently and with fewer emissions. Thankfully, American ingenuity and technological development provide a means to this through advanced nuclear technology. Developing this advanced technology, while preserving and expanding current technology, must be among America’s top national security matters.
