Summary
CEO of Southern Company says U.S. needs to install more than 10 gigawatts of new nuclear power to meet energy demand and climate goals. Southern Company recently opened first new nuclear plant in U.S. in over three decades. The company expects demand to grow significantly and believes nuclear power will play a key role in providing reliable electricity. Building new nuclear plants is expensive and time-consuming, but developing small modular nuclear reactors could be a solution.
