Michigan's Palisades Nuclear Plant Nears Reopening After Historic Licensing Approval

Michigan is at the forefront of a potential nuclear energy renaissance with plans to restart the Palisades Nuclear Plant, marking a historic move in the U.S. nuclear industry. The state is shifting towards nuclear power as a key component of its clean energy strategy amid the closure of coal plants and challenges faced by renewables. The restart involves significant federal and state support and could pave the way for small modular reactors, although concerns about nuclear waste and public safety remain.
