In light of rising electricity demand, various states are exploring nuclear energy as a viable solution. The South African government is organizing a seminar to clarify misconceptions about nuclear energy following a temporary withdrawal of procurement plans. Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Energy has projected that 200 GW of new nuclear capacity will be required by 2050, with a report indicating that existing and retired sites could host up to 95 GW of new capacity. North Dakota legislators are advocating for a $500,000 study to assess nuclear energy's potential, recognizing a shift in public opinion towards viewing it as a safe and efficient option. Florida is also contemplating nuclear expansion, focusing on advanced technologies, with state officials emphasizing the need for diversification of energy sources. These discussions highlight a growing recognition of nuclear power's role in addressing future energy needs despite ongoing complexities and regulatory hurdles.
