Smaller nuclear reactors spark renewed interest in a once-shunned energy source
Three Mile Island is firing back up. Google’s ordering custom reactors. A former Texas oilman just dropped millions to build one at a Christian university. After decades in the wilderness following historic disasters, nuclear energy is having a moment. Tech giants need clean power for AI data centers, states want energy independence, and investors see opportunity in advanced reactor technology. Half the states have passed pro-nuclear legislation in just two years, with Texas leading the charge by investing $350 million. The twist? These aren’t your grandfather’s massive nuclear plants—they’re small, factory-built units that promise to be safer, cheaper, and faster to deploy. David Montgomery with Stateline has the full story.
