Globally, around 1 billion people live without energy. This means people must resort to more dangerous options, like heating, lighting & cooking with an open flame. Energy makes clean air and water, abundant food supply, efficient transportation & advanced health care possible.

Nuclear science is an incredible asset to our nation. It delivers more than half of our nation’s CLEAN energy, creates jobs, and expands space exploration! Join me in celebrating #NuclearSciWeek.⚡️

Energy can come from a number of different places. This #NuclearSciWeek, let’s talk nuclear. The U.S. uses nuclear for 20% of our electricity generation. It's a crucial part of the energy mix because it's carbon-free, reliable and pairs well with other #cleanenergy sources.

Establishing common ground is key when making decisions about the #energy that powers our communities. A foundation of understanding helps initiate real conversations about what energy portfolios will work for individual #communities.

The U.S. today announced a new partnership between countries working to implement their climate ambition pledges and accelerate transitions to #NetZero, resilient, and inclusive energy systems. energy.gov/articles/us-la… via Energy Governance

Today is #NationalRecyclingDay! Recycling is one means to reduce waste, but it is also useful tool for reducing #energy usage. Recycling items like paper, plastic and metal usually requires less processing, reducing energy expended to turn them into usable materials.

Reliable energy is, arguably, most important to have during cold winter months🧣. When extreme weather hits it’s important to have #technologies feeding the grid that keep the heat on. A strong #energy mix is key to maintaining #reliability.

#energy technologies are often better performing when paired. Capable of withstanding changes to the #grid and fluctuations in the weather. These integrated energy systems can lead to energy independence and smarter use of resources. More here: ies.inl.gov/SitePages/Home…

Abundance is a key part of the #energy conversation. As the world population grows and becomes more technology-reliant, energy #demand rises. It’s important to have energy sources that can keep up with that ever-growing demand.
