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.

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.

A record 47% 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.

Some of the biggest names in tech came together this week to announce “Stargate,” a project they say will receive $500 billion in investment for US-based artificial intelligence infrastructure. The joint venture,

Companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are building large data centers in Indiana for AI. Each one requires power 24/7 and a lot of it. But Indiana utilities werent anticipating this when they made plans to get more power from sources like wind and solar.

Developed countries have a tighter deadline for achieving net-zero emissions that developing countries – which requires even faster growth of renewable energy – and all countries are behind schedule.
