New Jersey needs real solutions to our growing energy challenges, and that means taking a hard look at what’s actually holding us back.

Senator Latham Tiver's Senate Bill 3870 is a step in the right direction. It cuts through outdated barriers and allows us to responsibly move forward with nuclear energy, one of the most reliable, zero-emission power sources we have.

Nuclear power delivers around-the-clock energy, strengthens our grid, and helps bring down long-term costs for families.

Just as important, it creates good-paying union jobs and real economic opportunity here at home.

At a time when energy bills are hitting families hard, we need to be part of the solution. This is about affordability, reliability, and building a stronger energy future for South Jersey.
