A new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) study finds that hundreds of coal power plant sites across the country could be converted to nuclear power plant sites. This would dramatically increase the supply of firm and dispatchable clean electricity to the grid and deliver huge gains to the nation...
US Department of Energy Undersecretary Mark Menezes on Tuesdayrnconfirmed the DOE was considering a proposal for grid operators tornbuy power from at-risk coal and nuclear facilities to stave off theirrnretirements, echoing the national security rationale given in a memornon the proposal leaked ...

The NOPR comes roughly a month after a study called by Rick Perry concluded that the main reason for coal and nuclear plant retirements in the US is the advantaged economics of natural gas-fired power generation. Low growth in electricity demand and the rise in use of variable renewable ene...
(DOE)found that converting coal-power plants to nuclear using advanced small modular reactors(SMRs)could lead to additional economic activity worth US$275m for coal-reliant communities.Adrian La Porta,a technical director of process engineering at the consultancy Bryden Wood,said:"SMRs can be ...
WASHINGTON — An independent energy agency on Monday rejected a Trump administration plan to bolster coal-fired and nuclear power plants, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s efforts to boost the struggling coal industry. The decision by the Republican-controlled Federal Energy Regulatory Commis...
The DOE’s study is about the reliability of the electricity grid and whether federal policies to support renewable power have done more harm than good. Traditional sources of electricity, such as coal and nuclear, have long been considered the most reliable forms of electricity generat...

Renewable and nuclear energy sources are not expected to displace coal to a major extent during the 1995–2040 time period considered here. For manufacture of liquid and gaseous fuels, coal is projected to become competitive with other resources (petroleum, oil shale and bitumen) in the 2021–...
