| New York didn't debate. It ordered. On June 23, 2025, Governor Kathy Hochul directed the state's public utility to build an advanced nuclear plant—New York's first in 37 years. The state that hosts 40% of global finance just declared nuclear essential infrastructure. Not for climate goals. For grid reliability. The 9:30 AM Reality Check Here's the grid's dirty secret: Renewables can't run trading floors. When the NYSE opening bell rings on a windless December morning, wind farms are expensive lawn ornaments. When Goldman Sach's servers process a hundred billion-dollar trade, there's no room for "intermittent" in the power supply. - New York didn't just order a nuclear plant for upstate. It ordered insurance for Manhattan's grid.
Because when California's grid failed, Silicon Valley went dark. New York won't let that happen to Wall Street. The quiet part said loud: Only nuclear delivers carbon-free baseload at scale. And tomorrow, that nuclear baseload will keep Manhattan's markets running whether Wall Street realizes it or not. The Supply Shock Every reactor needs fuel. Palisades (in Michigan) alone will again devour 400,000 pounds annually when put back into operation. New York's advanced reactor? Even more on the initial load. - Current mine production: 75% of demand.
- Current stockpiles: crumbs.
- Current timeline: Accelerating monthly as demand is on track to double by 2024
