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.

Proposed Massachusetts Wind Farm Causes Stir
LCG, July 24, 2002-A proposed wind farm on 25 square miles of Nantucket Sound near Cape Cod has not been received well by residents despite its supposed environmentally friendly nature.Cape Wind Associates would like to build a large wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts and is asking for approval to build. The $700 million project would consist of 170 turbines in the Nantucket Sound, some of which would be four miles from Cape Cod.The company claims that the sound is the best place for a wind farm in the Northeast and that the proposed project could generate power for over half a million homes, or over 500 MW. Some opponents contend that the open ocean is public domain, and those attempting to build on it should pay fees for usage as oil and mining companies do.Residents and others worry about the unpleasant appearance of turbines, visible from Cape Cod, especially including construction and maintenance barges and platforms. Impact on tourism, wildlife, commercial fishing and general navigation of the sound are other concerns that have been raised. 10 environmental groups have joined forces to call for an environmental study of the project.
