Mayor OSCAR WELS H won't hesitate to tell you THAT NUCLEAR EN E RGY HELPS KEEP HIS TOWN clear n. Oscar Welsh is mayor of a small Pennsylvania town not far from Bald Eagle Mountain. He lives eight miles from a nuclear plant that started generating elec tricity about 10 years ago. Mayor Welsh is a man who prefers to arrive at his own conclusions. "I don't see any reason to be afraid of nuclear energy," he says. "It's a clean, efficient way to generate electricity with out polluting the air." America has more than 100 nuclear plants. Because they don't burn anything to make electricity, they help protect our environment and preserve our natural resources for future generations. All while providing enough electricity for 65 million homes in the U.S . No single energy source is the whole answer to America's energy needs. But, as Oscar Welsh will tell you, nuclear energy is part of the answer. For more informa tion, write to the U.S . Council for Energy Awareness, P.O. Box 66080, Dept. W, Washington, D.C. 20035. ©1993USCEA NUCLEAR ENERGY MEANS CLEANER AIR ow-w -s- , 1 'AVNAWan
