Description: Join our movement seeking a solution to the nuclear waste problem — to protect human life, to hold government accountable and to ensure a clean energy future.
1-in-3 Americans live within 50 miles of this radioactive waste — a problem they never expected to inherit. Now, with the climate crisis, the lack of a waste solution threatens the future of nuclear energy, key to achieving net zero emissions. It’s the government’s responsibility to work with communities to dispose of this waste. The future of our children and our planet depend on it.
When it comes to nuclear energy, more than 50 percent of Americans are most concerned about the lack of a permanent disposal solution for nuclear waste.
Three-in-five would be more likely to support nuclear as a source of clean, carbon-free energy if there were a permanent waste disposal solution.
