AI's voracious energy appetite is straining already outdated power grids. Here's how nuclear and solar energy could fix that.

After years of attempts to open Colorado up to nuclear energy, a bill before the legislature this year is showing new promise for the effort as Democrats sign up as co-sponsors alongside the

The bill, HB249 by Rep. Carl Albrecht, R-Richfield, aims to position Utah as a player in energy innovation and foster plans for the future for microreactors or small modular reactor technology. “We’ve got to start somewhere,” Albrecht told the committee.

Nuclear reactors take a long time to build and Big Tech will use gas power to bridge the gap and meet its energy demands.

That said, NuScale is pre-revenue right now, and it will take time for regulators to approve its upsized SMR and even longer to build out its facilities. As seen by the UAMPS project, there is a risk of cost overruns, and investors may have to wait a while before their investment starts to pay off.

In the popular imagination, nuclear power plants conjure fears of catastrophic explosions and radiation leaks, such as the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986. In reality, hundreds of reactors safely operate all over the world with excellent safety records,

Duke plans to build its first small modular reactor at Belews Creek in about 10 years. A federal grant could help with that project.

The revival of the Palisades Nuclear Plant, which had begun decommissioning after shutting down in May 2022, would be a first in United States history.

Restarting the Palisades Nuclear Plant in western Michigan will transform the facility’s neighboring towns, local county officials hope. Found just off a rural two-lane highway over 60 miles south of Grand Rapids,
