On September 20th, Microsoft announced a 20-year deal with Constellation Energy to buy nuclear power from Three Mile Island’s Unit 1 once it’s reopened. As clean energy demand grows, experts consider the logistics, safety, and the potential of using old sites for advanced reactors where refurbishing existing ones may not be possible.

Don’t trust the Alberta Tarsands Tarnation with Nuclear Energy & Radioactive Waste. The Alberta Government can’t, won’t or is unable to clean up abandoned conventional oil & gas wells, selenium laced coal mines or toxic tarsands tailings ponds. How will they guarantee safety to ensure there’s NOT a meltdown or a release of radioactive waste that will take 100,000 years, more or less to clean up?⚠️⛔️☢️⚠️ CBC News : Q&A: Small modular reactor proponents are gathering in Edmonton. Could SMRs work in Alberta? Government officials, power companies, and nuclear advocates are gathering in Edmonton for the Small Modular Reactor Forum this week. https://lnkd.in/gq9aAhPU

Hat tip to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for supporting the case to triple nuclear power (fission) capacity for the U.S. to attempt to meet #decarbonization goals. Going further, we believe we are living through the golden age of private #fusion development and that these two technologies are essential to enable a #carbon-free #energy future https://lnkd.in/ezNbECtV

🌍 Reviving US Nuclear Plants: A Bold Step in the Energy Transition As electricity demand surges across the US, there’s a renewed push to bring retired nuclear plants back online. Holtec International, NextEra Energy, Inc., and Constellation Energy are leading efforts to revive plants like Palisades and Three Mile Island, blending legacy infrastructure with cutting-edge technology. This isn't just a restart; it’s about reimagining nuclear power’s role in a cleaner, carbon-free future. The journey is complex—balancing high costs and regulatory hurdles—but the potential benefits in energy security and emissions reduction make it worth watching. ⚛️🌱 #NuclearRevival #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #BaseloadPower #Holtec #NextEraEnergy #ConstellationEnergy #NetZero

Excited to see Microsoft colloborating with Constellation on nuclear energy. While we as an industry leverage more SMR capabilities, LNG can be a suitable additive source to provide power while we await permitting from the Office of Nuclear Energy, U.S. Department of Energy “Powering industries critical to our nation’s global economic and technological competitiveness, including data centers, requires an abundance of energy that is carbon-free and reliable every hour of every day, and nuclear plants are the only energy sources that can consistently deliver on that promise,” Constellation.
