AI's voracious energy appetite is straining already outdated power grids. Here's how nuclear and solar energy could fix that.

The Abundant Resource Solar energy is the most plentiful energy resource available on our planet. Every hour, enough sunlight hits the Earth to power the entire world for a year. Imagine a source so abundant that it practically dwarfs any other renewable option in scope and promise.

By the 1970s and 1980s, nuclear power plants became integral to the country’s electricity supply, providing a stable and substantial portion of the nation’s energy.

Returning to the Moon requires solving the problem of reliable power for lunar missions. Solar energy is abundant in some locations on the Moon, but it’s not always reliable due to the long lunar nights and extreme temperature changes.

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.

Nuclear energy-focused stocks like Constellation Energy, Dominion Energy and NexGen Energy are gaining traction, making them strong contenders for any investment portfolio.

After years of attempts to open Colorado up to nuclear energy, a bill before the legislature this year is showing new promise for the effort as Democrats sign up as co-sponsors alongside the

Global nuclear energy production is set to reach a record high in 2025, driven by increased investment and growing demand.

After seeming out of step with Biden, Knoxville's big utility could find stronger footing in Trump's fossil-fueled energy agenda.

Solar generation for the first 11 months of 2024 increased by over 26%, according to the US EIA's latest monthly report.

Duke plans to build its first small modular reactor at Belews Creek in about 10 years. A federal grant could help with that project.

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.
