The History Behind the Movement
How a bold idea — using the roar of IndyCar engines to amplify a clean-energy message — grew into a national movement supported by the nuclear industry's biggest names.
IndyCar: Taking Clean Energy to the Fast Lane
The Nuclear Clean Air Energy pioneered an unconventional approach: partnering with IndyCar racing — one of North America's most-watched motorsports series — to carry the clean energy message to millions of passionate fans.
IndyCar's electric transformation represented a perfect metaphor. As the series embraced hybrid and electric powertrains, the connection between carbon-free baseload nuclear electricity and the future of electric vehicles became vivid and tangible for audiences who might never read an energy policy paper.
- Brand visibility across race weekends attended by 250,000+ fans
- National television broadcasts reaching millions of viewers
- Linking zero-carbon nuclear power to the EV mobility transition
- Demonstrating that sustainability and high performance go hand in hand
Nuclear Powers the Electric Future
Electric vehicles are only as clean as the electricity that charges them. Nuclear energy provides the reliable, zero-carbon grid power that makes the EV revolution truly carbon-free.
The EV Energy Source Problem
When EVs charge from grids dominated by coal or gas, their carbon footprint remains significant. Only genuine zero-carbon sources like nuclear can deliver truly clean electric miles.
Baseload & Grid Stability
Unlike solar or wind, nuclear delivers constant power around the clock — crucial for handling peak EV charging demand without fossil backup.
Key Moments in Our Journey
From the first sponsor conversations to full-scale industry partnerships, each milestone brought the clean nuclear message to a wider audience.
The organisation was established with a bold mandate: change public perception of nuclear energy through innovative outreach far beyond the traditional energy-policy arena.
The Nuclear Clean Air Energy debuted as a sponsor at an IndyCar Series event, placing the clean-energy message in front of hundreds of thousands of racing fans for the first time.
NEI became a founding industry supporter, lending credibility and resources to the campaign and opening doors with utilities and reactor operators nationwide.
Four major nuclear industry players — Entergy Corporation, AREVA Inc., GE, and Holtec International — joined as partners, dramatically expanding reach, funding, and sector credibility.
Partnerships with institutions including Purdue University established structured campus-visit programmes, connecting engineering students with nuclear industry professionals.
Backed by Industry Leaders
Our partners represent the full breadth of the nuclear energy sector — from policy advocates to reactor builders to fuel-cycle specialists.
