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.

LCG, October 23, 2025--Google announced today a first-of-its kind agreement to support a natural gas-fired power plant with carbon capture and storage (CCS).

By agreeing to buy most of the power it generates, Google is helping get this new, baseload power source built and connected to the regional grid that supports our data centers.

Climate Trading Gains Momentum in EU
LCG, June 25, 2003--Lawmakers for the European Union will put a measure that would create a system for trading of carbon dioxide emission allowances to a vote before the European Parliament next Wednesday.If approved, it would require that companies in industries such as oil refining, steel, cement, ceramics, glass and paper manufacturing release emissions based on tradable permits that would be priced by the market. The European Union could make progress towards emission reductions under the United Nations Kyoto Protocol. No decisions have been made yet on how to allocate the initial set of emission credits to particular industries, although the credits would be allocated by January 2005.If companies fail to reduce emissions to match the number of credits they have or do not buy enough additional credits, they would have to pay fines of 40 euros per ton, and 100 euros by 2008. The trading of credits by EU companies would be allowed only within the EU at first, but might be allowed with companies elsewhere at a later date.
