NextEra Energy and Google Collaborate on Accelerating Nuclear Power Deployment

LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

Lay Steps Down From CEO Post and Chairmanship of Enron

LCG, Jan. 24, 2002--Enron's chairman and CEO Ken Lay has left those positions, under pressure from a bankruptcy court-appointed creditors committee.

Lay will assist Enron's board of directors in selecting a restructuring specialist, who will be acting CEO until a formal replacement is found. In a statement, Lay said, "unfortunately, with the multiple inquiries and investigations that currently require much of my time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to concentrate fully on what is most important to Enron's stakeholders."

The 15-member creditors committee held strong doubts about Lay's effectiveness in seeing that creditors are repaid, in view of the series of sales of Enron stock Lay made in 2001 while the company's financial position was crumbling.

Hearings regarding Enron begin on Capital Hill today before a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee ("The Destruction of Enron-Related Documents by Andersen Personnel"), and before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee ("The Fall of Enron - How Could It Have Happened?").
