Previously heralded by big tech, utilities, and the Trump administration, as paving the way for a new wave of nuclear power in the U.S. Constellation Energy's planned restart of Unit One at the former three mile island.

Christine Ramos 1:07

Nuclear power plant, renamed a Crane Clean Energy Center, planned for twenty twenty seven, could be delayed by up to four years, according to news accounts. The problem stems not from any activity occurring at the plant. In fact, Constellation bumped a unit's expected restart date from twenty twenty eight to twenty twenty seven, but from a lack of transmission infrastructure caused by delays of planned transmission projects.
