Nuclear Energy: a smart choice for today and for the future. Including nuclear power as part of a balanced portfolio of global energy assets makes sense on many levels: To meet growing energy demands … Global demand for energy is growing exponentially by the day. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that worldwide energy consumption will increase by fifty percent during the next two decades. Even more worrisome – developing nations, in order to support their robust economics and surging populations, will require nearly eighty-five percent more energy by 2030. … combined...
