| Energy Realism last week focused on helping the American consumer and why nuclear must be a central focus of ours. Marc Brown got us started: you can be a consumer advocate, or you can be a policy advocate, but you cannot be both. How can consumer advocates pound the table about the cost of a transmission line, or fret over the potential stranded cost of a natural gas project (both of which may be very justifiable when you put pen to paper and assess the energy costs/benefits they provide) but then turn around and support public policy and supply costs that make up over 50% of the bill? In short, we must find ways to lower the costs of nuclear power especially. Duggan Flanakin gives us the case for nuclear fusion. While the European efforts are slowing down, the hunt for nuclear fusion is escalating in the U.S., and notably in Wisconsin. The good news is that AI could indeed be turning more to nuclear power, even more than gas, even more than renewables. Paige Lambermont looks at Microsoft and its goal to give new life to Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania. Microsoft and Constellation Energy, the utility that owns Three Mile Island, announced a new deal on September 20th that will lead to the restart of Unit 1 at the Three Mile Island. This will be the first time a nuclear reactor in the U.S. has been brought back online after being shut down. Given how nuclear is our most reliable source of electricity, and given how it surely lowers emissions, even environmentalists would be well advised to support this cause.
