Realizing our obligation to the environment...
In a world increasingly concerned about global climate change, nuclear
power will play a pivotal role.
Exelon is a good safety and environmental steward. Our accident rate in
nuclear and our OSHA recordables in Exelon Energy Delivery are among
the best in the industry. And although we rank fourth in overall generation,
our large nuclear fleet means we rank last among our peer group in
NOXemissions, last in CO2emissions, and next to last in SO2emissions.
Exelon will be in the forefront of industry efforts to combat global
warming. According to the National Commission on Energy Policy, the
crucial challenge of capping and ultimately reducing greenhouse gas
emissions will be considerably more difficult without nuclear. The
successful relicensing of our existing fleet, and the successful licensing
of advanced nuclear designs through the NuStart consortium, will aid
in reducing future greenhouse gas emissions, as well as our reliance on
foreign energy sources.
