Nuclear Energy Takes Center Stage

September 14, 2024/

Perusing many news articles and many business reports it appears that the issue of moving to nuclear as a future energy generator is a dominant consideration across the country as energy leaders worry about meeting the nation’s future demand for energy. The issue is also emerging as a strong consideration in Montana.

According to the Department of Energy (DOE), nearly one-third of existing U.S. coal plants are scheduled to shut down by 2035, as has been mandated by the federal government. At the same time demand for electricity is rising faster than at any time in “the past five or more years.”

Bear in mind, at the recent Southeastern Montana Development Energy Open Conference it was reported that both, Elon Musk and Bill Gates have predicted that demand for electricity in the future will be two -and -a -half to three times higher than it is today.
