While those who understand our industry know the benefits of nuclear, there are some who don’t realize the advantages of nuclear as a carbon-free energy source. And there are some who are simply confused about the facts of nuclear. That’s why Westinghouse has launched its new Carbon Free Future series -- to set the record straight. Westinghouse’s Carbon Free Future video series is an invitation to get curious. The world needs secure, reliable energy options in every corner of the globe. Over the next 20 years, the global population is expected to grow 25 percent, and by 2030 demand for electricity will nearly double. Throughout the world, countries are setting ambitious de-carbonization goals. The truth of the matter is that renewables alone can’t get us there. Nuclear power is an essential -- and realistic -- solution to the climate emergency. Join us during this vital dialog about climate action. Know the facts and inspire action. Join us as we shape tomorrow’s energy. |   |   | | --- | --- | |   |   |   - [About](https://westinghousenuclear.com/about) - [Innovation](https://westinghousenuclear.com/innovation) - [Energy Systems](https://westinghousenuclear.com/energy-systems) - [Nuclear Fuel](https://westinghousenuclear.com/nuclear-fuel) - [Operating Plants](https://westinghousenuclear.com/operating-plants) - [Careers](https://westinghousenuclear.com/careers) [![Westinghouse](https://info.westinghousenuclear.com/hubfs/Blog/WEC_Logo_blog_footer.png "Westinghouse")](https://westinghousenuclear.com/) ©2026 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC.
