As energy demand surges, make no mistake. Nuclear power has emerged as a feasible as well as reliable, low-carbon anchor for baseload generation.
Load growth from AI, data centers, and electrification is outpacing traditional planning models.
Clean energy momentum is plateauing; utilities need firm, dispatchable power.
Nuclear offers long-term reliability, energy security, and emissions-free generation.
SMRs promise scalability and flexibility — but timelines and costs remain challenging.
The energy transition has shifted from decarbonization to capacity acceleration.
Utilities are prioritizing megawatts over emissions as demand spikes.
Federal incentives for renewables are waning; nuclear is gaining bipartisan support.
SMRs attract attention but face long development cycles and high upfront costs.
Existing nuclear plants are being optimized through license renewals and power uprates.
Regional realities vary: wildfire risk, permitting delays, speculative tech loads, aging infrastructure.
