What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Missouri’s Department of Natural Resources is leading a new state energy plan that prioritizes new nuclear power plants, energy independence, and grid reliability. Governor Mike Kehoe stated the plan provides a roadmap to reverse Missouri's trend of relying heavily on electricity from outside the state. Director Jake Buxton noted that nuclear power is best suited to provide around-the-clock, dispatchable power for the state.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The plan addresses the need for reliable power, especially given anticipated demand increases from artificial intelligence data centers. Missouri currently uses eight times more energy than it produces, and the strategy seeks to reduce exposure to rising costs associated with importing electricity from other states.
