Hochul pushes nuclear revival to meet state climate targets

Governor Kathy Hochul is championing nuclear power as a key part of New York's clean-energy strategy, reversing a period of decline that saw the Indian Point plant close. The move comes after the state enacted one of the nation's most aggressive decarbonization laws in 2019. The new initiative aims to fill the gap left by that closure with expanded atomic generation.
