Environmentalists Embrace Nuclear, As AI Needs Energy
The environmental movement has been opposed to nuclear energy for years. Now that AI data centers need it, that has changed

Gas prices have soared this week to $3.68, which is their highest level in more than a year. The average American will pay $1,000 more for gas than when prices were below $3 last month.
BP got an agreement to start a $5 billion program to drill in the Gulf. It was an important part of the Trump Administration’s energy plans.
After months of shutting down offshore wind projects, Donald Trump lost his case in court. Efforts to focus on oil and coal haven’t worked. Wind farm Revolution Wind has come online
Research firm Morning Consult analyzed car brands based on experiences with issues such as repairs and reliability. Toyota and Chevy showed up in the top 10. Tesla did not make the cut.
Most people don’t know it, but parts of NYC are below sea level. The flood watch today means some of those will be flooded. The problems could be fixed but the price tag is billions of dollars
Renewables are supposed to replace expensive fossil fuels like coal and cut electricity prices. The problem is, it could take years to get solar and wind connected to America’s aging grid
There was record-breaking heat in parts of California and Texas over the weekend, with temperatures rising into the 90s. At the time, the snow in the Western mountains was at low levels, meaning less spring water. Put the two together, and the wildfire risk jumps.

Between 2000 and 2025, heat deaths in the United States increased by more than 50%. In Phoenix, America’s hottest city, the number has reached over 600 a year
At least 12 states will set records for high temperatures this weekend. Usually, they would not reach these levels until June. This happens while electricity prices rise sharply. AC has become more expensive than mortgages and rents in some places
The journal Science reports that fish will be much smaller than in the past because oceans are warming so quickly. This means what’s available for humans is shrinking.
The EIA said coal gained market share last year as an electricity source. Trump has helped by opening federal land to mining. Its use may rise with AI data center needs
Thick toxins from the explosion of oil facilities, combined with rain, have caused a very dangerous precipitation, according to the WHO. The problem will continue as the war grows.
Because of AI data center energy needs and the risk of $100-a-barrel oil, nuclear energy is quickly becoming popular. After the Three Mile Island and Fukushima nuclear accidents, it began to die off. Now, its energy contribution has become crucial.
A report in the journal Nature shows that parts of the world are heating up at a growing pace over the period from 1950 to 2024. Most scientists thought it would be slower. This puts a huge number of people in danger.
Iran has pledged to keep tankers out of the Strait of Hormuz and to drive oil prices to $200 a barrel. The US can’t afford that. The only place it has to turn is renewables. Solar, wind, and EVs will benefit.
A new study from iSeeCars shows that used car sales are slowing. But, not for used Tesla. The Model X was the fastest-selling used car in America last month. What happened? Maybe it’s a rebound from slowing sales after the end of the $7,500 tax credit. No matter what the reason, it’s good for the…
Amid concerns that oil flows could be interrupted, renewed interest in nuclear power is gaining momentum.
GM and Ford just turned their backs on the EV industry after billions of dollars in write-offs. At $100 oil, gas is $5. How long does oil stay high? What’s the point at which people will turn back to EVs to save money? And how long does it take for car companies to retool their…
