Duke Energy’s filing indicates that Stokes County will be the site of a future SMR. SMR technology is carbon-free, scalable to meet the unique needs of diverse communities and can fit seamlessly into the flexible energy system of the future. The state’s goals demonstrate the central role nuclear energy must take to balance affordability and reliability with clean-energy progress while creating jobs and providing local economic benefits.
So much talk of new projects, I wonder if any will actually go anywhere.
I definitely hope this goes somewhere. This is local to me, and the current nuclear plant here has been managed well.
I hope so too!
