Gov. Kathy Hochul wants New York to build its first new nuclear power plant in decades

New York’s governor is calling for the construction of the state’s first new nuclear power plant in decades. Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday directed the state’s power authority to develop a plant in upstate New York. The Democrat says she envisioned an advanced facility that would help create a clean, reliable and affordable electric grid for the state. Hochul says the state needs to secure its “energy independence” if it wants to continue to attract large manufacturers. She wants the power authority to develop “at least” one new nuclear energy facility with a combined capacity of at least one gigawatt of electricity.
