We maybe a broken record at this point, but more baseload energy like natural gas and nuclear are essential to helping to tackle our energy challenges.

This news segment from WPEX in Pittsburgh talks about the new nuclear partnership that has been reached that will help not only build reactors, but also small modular nuclear reactors, or SMRs.

Now even though they aren’t being built in New Jersey, more power in the system benefits everyone in the system. But that still leaves us as an importer of energy paying higher costs.

And Power Mag points us to recent polling that highlights the increased support for nuclear across the country:

If we are going to solve our energy problems, nuclear as base load is going to a part of the solution. The public is in support, businesses are putting up their own capital.

It’s time for our government leaders to change course and adopt policies that begin to address the shortages that we are facing. Otherwise, it will continue to be Groundhog Day in NJ.
