America’s nuclear comeback is taking shape

A lot has been written about America’s growing need for energy. I should know — I’ve written plenty of it myself. But seeing that challenge up close and watching the industry work to meet it in real time is something different entirely.

I recently joined Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) for a tour of the Crane Clean Energy Center in his home state of Pennsylvania, a nuclear power plant that closed in 2019. We spent time with plant leadership, workers, and local stakeholders from the community, participating in conversations about the efforts to bring the facility back online and why nuclear energy will play an important role in helping America generate the power it needs.
