After more than 45 years of powering New York with reliable, carbon-free electricity, the Indian Point Energy Center has shut down. Indian Point 2 and 3 have generated its last megawatts of electricity before prematurely ceasing operations.

At the moment climate change is recognized as an urgent problem and nuclear is viewed as an important part of the solution, a new study shows that reactors in PJM face shutdown down, right when they’re needed the most.

President Biden met with 40 world leaders and promised to get the United States back on the climate control track. . But real progress will require action, investment and policy, and nuclear energy will be key to making any climate solution work.

On April 22-23, the U.S. will host 40 world leaders to discuss setting more ambitious carbon-reduction targets at the Leaders Summit on Climate. We asked three of our experts what would be the most encouraging developments from this international meeting.

The Biden administration is working to put the U.S. in position to address climate change. As the largest provider of around-the-clock carbon-free energy and with new innovations on the horizon, nuclear energy is the ideal partner to wind and solar in this endeavor.

What exactly does an energy grid that is both reliable and carbon-free look like in the U.S. and how do we get there? We asked experts from NEI and the Electric Power Research Institute who specialize in technology, innovation, policy and more to weigh in on this very question.

Holtec International, a major supplier for the nuclear industry, is branching out to meet our need for carbon-free energy by designing a small modular reactor.

Kairos Power will build a prototype advanced nuclear reactor, part of the energy innovation that will be essential for stabilizing the climate.

With the winter storms in Texas and Bill Gates’ ambitious plans to fight climate change, Yahoo Finance spoke with John Kotek about how to create a more resilient, reliable electricity grid without carbon emissions.

Bill Gates spoke with Anderson Cooper on "60 Minutes" about the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions with big ideas, including innovation in nuclear energy. As the largest source of carbon-free energy, nuclear power is essential to a carbon-free future, says Bill Gates.

Perseverance, NASA's biggest and most ambitious Mars rover yet, will look for signs of life, powered by a nuclear battery.

Nuclear energy is adopting innovations like 3D-printing so it can continue to power our way of life without carbon emissions. With these advances, current and new nuclear reactors will be ready to provide for a carbon-free future.
