Global nuclear energy production is set to reach a record high in 2025, driven by increased investment and growing demand.
Duke plans to build its first small modular reactor at Belews Creek in about 10 years. A federal grant could help with that project.
Solar generation for the first 11 months of 2024 increased by over 26%, according to the US EIA's latest monthly report.
China’s renewable energy capacity skyrocketed in 2024, with 357 gigawatts of wind and solar power installed – a volume that can be likened to constructing 357 nuclear plants.
But nuclear’s recent history has been beset by cost overruns and delays. The fresh crop of nuclear startups were largely founded to overcome those hurdles by modularizing and mass-producing reactor components. If all goes as planned, the approach could speed approvals and construction of new nuclear plants.
The massive $100 billion Stargate joint venture will reportedly be powered, at least in part, by solar energy and batteries. According to a Bloomberg report, SoftBank-backed SB Energy will build the renewable power installations for Stargate,
