Cure the planet.
Doctors for Nuclear Energy is an international, volunteer group of doctors that see nuclear energy as an irreplaceable part of the just transition to a high-energy, low-carbon future.
The evidence is in.
As doctors, we understand the importance of energy to society, including powering hospitals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Nuclear energy is a proven answer for the reliable, low-carbon electricity we need to efficiently power a healthier planet.

"Ontario's success story was an energy security play. We commissioned 20 large nuclear reactors in just 22 years. It powered a booming industrial economy, vibrant automotive sector, and at the same time resulted in accidental decarbonization, which I argue is the best kind."
