Nuclear New York is an independent, non-partisan advocacy organization working towards a prosperous decarbonized future and nature conservation. We conduct rigorous research, education, policy advocacy, and non-intrusive activism. Nuclear New York is a project of Community Studies of New York, Inc, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Nuclear power is indispensable for protecting nature and elevating humanity. As an electricity source, nuclear provides reliable carbon-free energy with minimal land, ecological, and human health impacts. Nuclear plants can produce electricity on demand, thereby substantially reducing the total amount of installed generation capacity, transmission infrastructure, and storage required for decarbonization. These system-level efficiencies materially lower costs to consumers. Furthermore, civilian nuclear technology can efficiently provide direct heat and hydrogen for industrial processes, produce low-carbon liquid fuels to decarbonize transportation, and power negative emission technologies. Nuclear plants also generate life-saving isotopes for modern medicine. Nuclear energy can usher a clean energy revolution that brings well-paid meaningful work to New York, underwriting vibrant, healthy, and prosperous communities.

We are an extremely diverse group of individuals with different political affiliations, economic theories, cultural backgrounds, and walks of life. We are united in advocating for evidence-based policy design and collaborate with eminent climate scientists, science communicators, environmental activists, energy investors, labor and community organizers. We invite respectful dialogue with groups skeptical of nuclear power. What’s your superpower? Analyzing energy systems, leading demonstrations, or mixing drinks? We’d love to have you join us!
