 ==Nukes are green==
 The ANS sets out its belief that nuclear energy is green in a position paper. It states:
-:â€œThe American Nuclear Society believes that one of the most effective ways to reduce global carbon-dioxide emissions in the future is by making increasing use of nuclear energy to replace fossil fuels. This technology is the only one with near-zero carbon-dioxide emissions that has been proven capable of delivering, reliably and sustainably, the large quantities of energy needed by an industrial society. Also, the energy from nuclear fission is essentially inexhaustible, just as is the energy from sources traditionally considered 'renewable'.
