IF YOU DON’T SUPPORT NUCLEAR POWER, YOU’RE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT “CLIMATE CHANGE:” Scientific American joins the Push for Emission Free Nuclear Power.

Here in East Tennessee, we’re doing our best to save the planet: TVA’s Watts Bar Unit 2 Produces Electricity for the First Time. “The TVA’s Watts Bar nuclear Unit 2 generated electricity onto its power grid for the first time, Friday, June 3. Watts Bar Unit 2 is officially synced to the grid and licensed reactor operators have begun an initial test run of generation equipment. The team is using this run to collect data to be sure generating equipment is prepared for continuous full-power operation later this summer. . . . Once all power ascension tests have been completed successfully, Watts Bar Unit 2 will provide up to 1,150 megawatts of safe, low-cost, carbon-free electricity to the Tennessee Valley. Combined with Watts Bar Unit 1, the plant will supply power to roughly 1.3 million homes in the TVA service area.”
