Worst U.S. Nuclear Disaster At Three Mile Island Can’t Stop Comeback

David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss Microsoft and Constellation Energy’s symbolic decision to restart Three Mile Island—site of the U.S.’s worst nuclear accident in 1979. Though it marks a potential turning point for nuclear energy, both note that practical results remain years away. While small modular reactor approvals are still pending, this revival illustrates the growing urgency around non-carbon energy sources—even if the benefits are long-term.
