The federal government will provide a $1.5 billion loan to restart a nuclear power plant in southwestern Michigan, officials announced Wednesday.

Holtec International acquired the 800-megawatt Palisades plant in 2022 with plans to dismantle it. But now the emphasis is on restarting it by late 2025, following support from the state of Michigan and the Biden administration.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said it would be the first nuclear power plant to be reopened in the U.S.

Yeah, Mi needs the power but there is a lot of work to be done to get the facility up to snuff.....Years worth.

The big utilities need to be bitch slapped from doing the rate increase surcharge daily in the summer [50% higher] but since they are stupid leftists, they applaud fucking over the customers for green shit that doesn't work.

From what I understand the utilities don't even run half their windmills on peak power use days there most of the time.

All that green grift is a total scam for rate customers.

I thought that had been turned into a factory by the Gestapo Governor. Guess Witchmer will have to make her brooms elsewhere now.....

One of the strangest moves by the Democratic Party is when they went Pro- Nuke. It was a big shock to all those Anti-Nuke activist that are or were a big part of the Party.

Palisades, that is a special nuclear plant for me. It was the first Nuclear Plant I ever worked at. Incredible. They came down for tube leaks in one of the steam generators, I think? I guess it could of been a regular outage?

They did have a little problem, they got a fuel rod stuck, almost pulled it out of the water. Would of killed everyone in the containment building had it gotten out. But who knows, maybe if you were behind a concrete wall yo could of lived.

There are not many Combustion Engineering plants left in the USA. Not that there were a lot built. They shut down the 2 in southern california for politics.

This is a good move by Michigan, which realizes it needs electricity to attract industry. You can't run industry on Green Energy, mostly cause there is none.

Anyone who is even remotely serious about AGW knows nuclear power has to be part of the equation.

Even if they are still wrong about AGW being 'the worst thing evah" it separates the serious ones from the screaming idiots.

not this plant...

Michigan. Since its opening on New Year's Eve in 1971, serious problems have plagued the plant. Just 13 months after opening, Palisades experienced its first radioactive leak, prompting authorities to shut it down for over a year.

Since that first disaster, the plant continued to be troubled by controversy and misfortune. By 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission declared Palisades the worst-performing reactor in the nation

Should Palisades Nuclear Plant Be Brought Back to Life?

A shuttered and contaminated nuclear site on Lake Michigan's shores has begun receiving significant funding to bring it back to life. There is a large amount of radioactive waste stored in the facility. If it reopens, more dangerous and long-lasting pollution will be produced and stored...

Biden lies, whether on purpose I can't say.
But here he is totally going against what he is trying to force Africa to do

And that hateful project of Biden's appears to be dying too.

CAPE TOWN, March 27 (Reuters) - The proposed Africa Energy Bank, which will focus investment in oil and gas projects across the continent, is set to start operations later this year with an initial $5 billion authorized capital base, a senior official said on Wednesday.
The bank, a partnership between Afreximbank and the African Petroleum Producers Organization (APPO), is meant to help plug a funding gap in Africa amid pressure on major banks from environmental groups to shift investment dollars away from climate-warming oil and gas projects.

Hence why they are spending so much money to fix it and restart it.

Building new power plants of that size are pretty expensive. 2 billion for a coal fired plant today. 4 billion for a nuclear plan. Maybe 1.5 billion to redo the existing plant might be a bargain

Probably true
