The Trump administration's strong support for nuclear energy, led by Secretary Chris Wright, aims to address increasing electricity demand in the U.S., projected to rise by 15 percent in five years. Traditional energy sources are struggling due to green energy policies, compromising electric reliability. The rise of AI and manufacturing further necessitates nuclear power, especially as small modular reactors (SMRs) offer innovative, cost-effective solutions. With partnerships between tech giants and SMR companies, nuclear energy is gaining renewed enthusiasm as crucial for Americaâs energy landscape.
The transition underway to a decarbonized end state is posing material, adverse challenges to electric reliability, as emphasized by John Bear of MISO.
A bevy of new nuclear reactors are set to debut innovative designs on American soil, with SMRs driving down construction costs by factory-assembled components.
