NYC governor to build state's first new nuclear power plant in decades

New York's governor on Monday proposed the construction of the state's first new nuclear power plant in decades. Gov. Kathy Hochul directed the state's power authority to develop an advanced, zero-emission facility in upstate New York that she hopes will help create a clean, reliable and affordable electric grid for the state. She said the state power authority will seek to develop at least one new nuclear energy facility with a combined capacity of no less than one gigawatt of electricity. That would increase the state's total nuclear capacity to about 4.3 gigawatts. The Democrat said the state needs to secure its energy independence if it wants to continue to attract large manufacturers that create good-paying jobs as it deactivates aging fossil fuel power plants. We're going to get it done, Hochul said, speaking at the Niagara County Power Project in Lewiston. This historic initiative will lay the foundation for the next generation of prosperity. The governor said the state has

Air India temporarily stops flights to Europe, 5 destinations in US, Canada

Air India has stopped flight operations to Europe and five destinations in the US and Canada amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
