  New nuclear facilities can bring jobs to African-American communities while helping to meet clean-energy goals, write Maudine R. Cooper, president and CEO of the Greater Washington [D.C.] Urban League and Christine Todd Whitman, former EPA administrator and co-chairwoman of the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition. "Nuclear energy is an economic success story -- a story all Americans should be part of. One of the great values of nuclear energy is its ability to transform communities with new jobs and economic development," they write. BET.com
