These shifts have been great for existing nuclear plants. We’re seeing efforts to boost their power output, extend the lifetime of old reactors, and even reopen facilities that have shut down. That’s good news for climate action, because nuclear power plants produce consistent electricity with very low greenhouse-gas emissions.

As the world marks the International Day of Clean Energy in 2025, global momentum behind nuclear energy continues to build, with the clean power source set to generate record levels of electricity in the year ahead.

Microsoft and Google have all announced plans to invest in nuclear power under the banner of carbon neutrality -- despite earlier pledges to rely solely on renewable energy. And with the clock ticking on curbing greenhouse gas emissions to keep global ...

Part 2 of our Nuclear Energy series explores nuclear power around the world - cautionary tales or optimistic blueprints?

With wind energy facing a deep freeze from Washington, Gov. Hochul’s call for advancing nuclear power may prove crucial for the state to hit climate targets while courting energy-hungry high tech, experts said.

Public sentiment related to nuclear power remains highly contentious. As nuclear energy regains momentum, its path forward will require rebuilding public trust.

Nuclear power has been gaining more interest and attention at global climate summits, as a key weapon in the fight against climate change. But climate advocates say it's still suffering from a terrible reputation.

Facing a projected surge in power demand across the country, NextEra Energy is taking steps to potentially restart its shuttered 615-MW Duane Arnold nuclear plant in Iowa as early as 2028, while also signing a new partnership with GE Vernova to develop natural gas generation projects that could be paired with renewable energy and storage.

NextEra Energy has spoken with regional grid operators and filed notice with federal regulators about a possible restart of its Duane Arnold nuclear power plant in Iowa, the company's CEO, John Ketchum,

There are 206 coal-burning power plants left in the United States, which supply about 16 percent of the country’s energy. Experts say burning more doesn’t make financial sense.

A record 47 percent of the European Union’s electricity now comes from solar and other renewables, a report Thursday said, in yet another sign of the growing gap between the bloc’s push for clean energy and the new U.S. administration’s pursuit of more fossil fuels.
