Biden-Harris Administration announces ways to increase nuclear and clean energy
The nuclear power industry employs nearly 60,000 workers in good-paying jobs and supports hundreds of thousands of other workers.
The Biden-Harris Administration released a statement on May 29 announcing they will continue to build on President Biden’s unprecedented goal of a carbon-free electricity sector by 2035 while ensuring that consumers across the country have access to affordable, reliable electric power and maintain good-paying clean energy jobs.
The White House also hosted a summit on May 29 about Domestic Nuclear Deployment, where they highlighted the collective progress being made across the public and private sectors. UA Local 598 Business Manager Nick Bumpaous was among those in attendance.
This historic commitment to nuclear energy has the potential to be a game-changer for clean energy and UA jobs. Under the pro-union leadership of the Biden Administration, we fully expect the skilled members of the UA will be at the forefront of this vital effort.
