Welcome to
The Nuclear Frontier
America needs more nuclear power to meet surging electricity demands and ensure our national security. Join us as we work toward a future with nuclear power as the cornerstone of America’s clean energy infrastructure.
The Nuclear Frontier
Nuclear is the most reliable source of firm clean power. Nuclear’s 93% capacity factor means plants operate day and night, providing the baseload, around-the-clock power now required as we face increased energy demands brought on by AI data compute, the reshoring of manufacturing, and the electrification of everything.
The International Energy Agency projects global electricity demand will increase between 25% and 30% by 2030. That increase is the equivalent of adding the current electricity demand of both the United States and the European Union.
Why nuclear and why now?
To power our electric vehicles and home heat pumps, as well as data centers and factories, we need nuclear, and we have the blueprint. America just completed construction of two nuclear reactors in Georgia. We must use our know-how or other countries will surpass us by setting global industry standards through their technology deployment.
Join us as we mobilize public support for the development of 200 gigawatts of new large-scale nuclear power across America.
Building at scale
America’s Commitment to Nuclear
Building nuclear power is a matter of national security, as increasing our nuclear fleet ensures our continued global economic leadership. Noticing the rising demand for electricity, China has 30 nuclear reactors under construction to provide stable, clean power for decades to come. America has zero.
Without action, China may seize control of the nuclear economy by 2030, just as it did with manufacturing, leaving the United States as a follower and not a leader. American political leaders have taken the initiative, and now it’s time for action. The United States is committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and that’s why at COP28, America was among 22 countries pledging to triple nuclear capacity by that time. To reach net-zero, the United States will need between 550 and 770 gigawatts of clean, firm capacity. The investment will range from $2 trillion to $4 trillion in America alone.
2024 National Campaign
The Nuclear Frontier this summer visited six states, leading to its capstone event in Washington D.C. hosted by The Hill, to build support for new nuclear power in America.

Meet Juliann Edwards
Juliann Edwards has spent nearly two decades working in clean energy and workforce development. She chairs U.S. Women in Nuclear, a 5,000-member organization advancing the role of women in the industry, and also serves as Chief Development Officer of The Nuclear Company, a fleet-scale nuclear development company based in America’s heartland.
Juliann joined The Nuclear Company following her time as Vice President of Power and Energy at TC Energy, where she assembled a 100-person team to oversee the build-out of $16 billion in clean energy projects. She also served on the board of Bruce Power, which is Canada's only private-sector nuclear generator and is the world’s largest operating nuclear facility.
Beyond her professional experience, Juliann and her husband, Andrew, honor their daughter, Lily, through advocating and fundraising for Rett Syndrome Research Trust, which works to eradicate the rare neurological and developmental disorder. Her passion in clean energy stems from her family's experience and impact from poor environmental protections, leading to herself being a cancer survivor.
