“When New York Governor Kathy Hochul, whose state has banned natural gas pipelines because of ‘climate change’, goes all in for nuclear energy, you know the revolution is under way. For decades, the anti-nuclear movement moved from protesting nuclear weapons to oppose nuclear energy as well. But not today. Gov. Hochul, in an adjunct to her state of the state speech in January, said her administration supports a grant request by Constellation Energy for federal funding to build one or more small modular nuclear reactors at its Nine Mile Point site in Oswego. Constellation’s four New York State reactors provide about a fifth of the state’s electricity. Hochul’s announcement dovetailed the release of a state ‘Blueprint for Consideration of Advanced Nuclear Energy Technologies,’ crafted by the Brattle Group for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.” (02/15/25)
