. "bolstering grid reliability, supporting economic development, and helping to turn the CLCPA’s vision into a resilient and achievable reality." - Lindsay Anderson @CornellCALS. 🔗

"This is especially critical as the state prepares for a surge in electricity demand driven by the rapid growth of data centers and high-tech manufacturing. A 1 GW advanced nuclear power plant in New York would be a strategic investment. ".

💭 @Cornell expert @lndsyandrsn (@CornellCALS) weighs in: "Meeting the ambitious decarbonization goals of NY’s Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act will require not only maximizing renewable energy, but also ensuring a stable supply of clean, dispatchable electricity. ".

Today @GovKathyHochul announced plans to develop a nuclear energy technology power plant in upstate NY. While no energy solution is without tradeoffs, nuclear innovation—alongside renewables & other low-carbon tech—is an important step to ensure a healthy planet. 🧵.
