.@SecretaryWright: “It's been decades since we've built any meaningful nuclear capacity in this country... But President Trump is committed to getting this nuclear renaissance - that’s been talked about for years – going…We're going to see some plant restarts. We're going to see increased investment. We will see a small modular reactor hopefully running and definitely several under construction during President Trump's term in office.”
Energy Secretary nominee @ChrisAWright_ understands that to compete globally, the U.S. must continue to invest in nuclear power. He sees the potential – and so do we.
The result notwithstanding, it was a treat to see Marc-Andre Fleury in net for perhaps the last time in DC. Can’t think of a more fitting finale than facing @Ovi8 in a shootout. Lots of great memories watching those two giants compete over the years. #ALLCAPS#mnwild#Respect 🌸
@Ethan_Cadeaux Lots of good karma tonight for Ovechkin. Vegas fans were trolling Caps fans about Ovi before the game. The more people dismiss the Gr8, the better he does. A hat trick and a save on the goal line. Doesn’t get much better than that.
So excited to see this world-class reactor returning to service!
✅ 835 megawatts of 24/7/365 carbon-free power
✅ 3,400 jobs to return the plant to service
✅ $3 billion is state and federal taxes
✅ $16 billion impact on Pennsylvania’s GDP
We’re restarting Three Mile Island Unit 1 as the new Crane Clean Energy Center! Through a 20-year agreement, Microsoft will use the energy from the renewed plant to help match the power its PJM data centers use with carbon-free electricity. 🧵

This summer, our nuclear fleet ran 98.1% of the time, providing reliable, carbon-free power to keep the lights on and AC humming 24/7 for homes & businesses across the regions we serve. Our assets are indispensable, and the prep for winter is well underway.https://t.co/ViAWEbXxo3
After 535 straight days of reliable operation, Byron Clean Energy Center Unit 1 went offline for scheduled refueling and maintenance. Technical experts will begin thousands of tasks to help ensure the reactor powers homes and businesses another 500+ days without interruption.
Being good for nothing can actually be a great thing. In fact, it’s how we got to be the nation’s No. 1 producer of zero-emissions energy. Watch our new commercial to see why nothing REALLY matters.
@GovNuclear To insist on being treated as a full partner by policymakers in accelerating our transition to a carbon-free economy. New or old, clean is clean, and nuclear energy gets the job done 24/7/365.
Really excited to have our Constellation Nation advocates in DC to meet with policymakers and highlight our efforts to accelerate the transition to a carbon-free economy using clean, affordable, and reliable nuclear power!
Our people play a crucial role in addressing the climate crisis and their passion is evident. During #NuclearScienceWeek, members of Constellation's employee advocacy group met with legislators to discuss the critical role that nuclear plays in the transition to a cleaner future.
