Powering the new data age: URAN
Nuclear energy is considered a reliable and low-carbon source of electricity. Unlike fossil fuel energy generation, nuclear power plants do not emit greenhouse gases when operating. Additionally, nuclear energy has a much smaller land footprint compared to renewable sources of electricity, such as solar and wind power, and is much less resource-intensive.
Uranium-powered nuclear energy is helping satisfy increasing electricity demand.
