Governor Kathy Hochul has announced plans to construct a new nuclear power plant in New York, marking the state's first nuclear facility in decades. This development signals a potential resurgence in nuclear energy in the U.S., driven by support from diverse groups including the Trump administration, tech companies requiring more energy, and climate advocates favoring nuclear as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. The state aims to use advanced reactors, addressing past challenges and promoting a reliable, zero-emission energy system.
The use of advanced nuclear technology can provide the State with a greater diversity of its energy resources that will support New York's goal of a growing economy with a reliable, zero-emission electricity system.
Nuclear energy could see a comeback in the US thanks to wide-ranging support from some strange bedfellows: the Trump administration... tech companies in need of more electricity for AI data centers; and climate hawks on board with nuclear energy as a carbon pollution-free alternative.
