Energy

Nuclear

The future of energy is clean, cheap, and abundant. It must be. We live in the fossil fuel era, with more access to energy than at any point in human history. Coal, oil, and gas have fueled a massive economic expansion and improved the lives of billions. At the same time, more than 1 billion people lack access to electricity, and billions more have inadequate access. 4 to 7 million people die each year as a result of air pollution. And the greenhouse gases produced by burning fossil fuels have warmed our planet to dangerous levels. Over the next 30 years we need to eliminate almost virtually all carbon emissions from our energy system, while lowering the cost of energy, and expanding access to billions.

Over the coming decades, advances in renewables, energy storage, and breakthroughs in nuclear fission and fusion stand poised to give us the tools to simultaneously decarbonize the energy sector while creating a world of abundant clean energy for billions.

By 2050, humanity will have the technology it needs to halt all or virtually all carbon emissions from energy while ending energy poverty. Policy choices and the conviction of consumers, citizens, and businesses will be required in order to deploy these technologies at the speed needed. If we choose it, the tools will be there for us to use.
