The Biden-era climate-activist class may be the last to accept that there’s no clean energy future without nuclear power.
At least some politicians — even in the bluest corridors — are conceding.
Reliably progressive New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has instructed the state’s public power authority to build no less than one gigawatt of advanced nuclear power.
Her announcement came just weeks after President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders to bring back America’s nuclear-energy dominance.
Site assessments, private-sector partnerships and labor support are already in motion.
Hochul and Trump come from opposite political universes, but both understand that nuclear delivers what wind and solar never will.
