Michigan’s Palisades nuclear power plant is reportedly set to reopen in October as America’s grid strains under increasing power demand, a development that will mark the first reopening of a shuttered nuclear power plant in U.S. history. [emphasis, links added]


Holtec International’s nuclear plant closed in May 2022, and it will reportedly go live again this October, according to multiple reports.

The Biden administration pledged a $1.5 billion loan guarantee for the plant’s revival in September 2024, and the Trump administration has continued to fund the project despite axing other Biden-era energy spending, all while the U.S. electrical grid is expected to struggle to meet rising power demand.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
