Gov. Gretchen Whitmer fired a major shot boosting efforts to reopen the now-shuttered Palisades Nuclear Plant along Lake Michigan’s shores.

A group led by the Beyond Nuclear campaign have asked Gov. Whitmer to abandon a strategy to get Michigan's Palisades Nuclear Power Plant generating again.

Alarmed by the closing of the Palisades nuclear plant, Michigan lawmakers voted to require a study on the future feasibility of nuclear power in the state.

Entergy says it is on course to shut down its Palisades nuclear plant, despite DOE's $6 billion program to prevent the early closure of nuclear plants.

The Department of Energy’s lifeline to struggling nuclear generators appears unlikely to save the next three units scheduled to retire.
