GEC assessed buildable land at all 64 U.S. commercial nuclear sites using county tax parcel records. 33 sites have land for at least one new reactor today; 2 are blocked only by state law. Gross acreage alone is a weak predictor of what's buildable.

Imagine someone shows up in your town and says: We’re here to help you navigate that new energy project proposal, and we don’t work for the developer—we work for you. That’s what we do. But projects are moving fast. Help us help communities keep up. goodenergycollective.givevir…

Coming to a community near you: a major clean energy project proposal. No one should have to watch from the back row. We make sure communities help shape the story. This Earth Day, help us bring more voices into the script. goodenergycollective.givevir…

The number of clean energy projects heading to communities across the U.S. is growing faster than the number of communities ready to engage with them. Help us close that gap. goodenergycollective.givevir…

Clean energy projects are coming, and communities should benefit from them. But developers have resources; local residents don’t. We help close that gap. This Earth Day, help us support the communities at the center of our clean energy future. goodenergycollective.givevir…

Nuclear workforce, community trust, the bipartisan ARC Act, and new interim FEOC guidance—we dig into all this and more in our March newsletter, out today! goodenergycollective.org/new…

The ARC Act offers a smart way to build nuclear—via federal cost-sharing, not rate hikes.

California lawmakers may carve out an exception to the state’s 50-year nuclear moratorium. @GoodEnergyColl’s Erik Funkhouser talked to @Bloomberg about what’s driving the change of heart. Also picked up by Politico’s @EENewsUpdates. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Meta’s nuclear power agreements may help bridge the gap between demonstration and commercial deployment. They’re an encouraging sign. What matters now: how well the deals are designed to benefit the communities that host them. Our take: goodenergycollective.org/pre…

AI needs electricity—lots, reliably. That's reshaping convos about nuclear. In @devex, @ErikFunkhouser makes the case that development finance institutions should engage w/ nuclear, not avoid it—w/ strong conditions for safety, transparency, & governance. bit.ly/3Z2R29e

Nuclear momentum is unmistakable in 2025. How do we keep communities at the center? This month we explored that question through community workshops in Vermont, Hill meetings in DC, and more. Read about it in our November newsletter: mailchi.mp/goodenergycollect…
