Produces electricity with virtually

no greenhouse gas emissions

Nuclear energy produces 91 percent of Michigan’s emission-free electricity and is the only clean-air

source that can produce large amounts of electricity around the clock.

Nearly 25 million metric tons of carbon dioxide are avoided by Michigan’s nuclear energy facilities, which equals what would be released in a year by more than 4.8 million passenger cars, more than all the registered

cars in the state.

Palisades provides more than 800 megawatts of safe, clean, vital energy to Southwest Michigan. Nuclear

energy is a price-stable source and does not fl uctuate like natural gas prices or other fossil fuels. Michigan’s

four nuclear energy facilities generate over 27 percent of the state’s electricity.

Palisades produces enough electricity to power

800,000 homes

Palisades provides

600 highly skilled full-time jobs for men and women

in the area, plus another

1,200 specialty jobs during refueling outages.

Entergy and Palisades employees

provide over $325,000 in charitable contributions to community

events and non-profi t organizations.
