Utah is ready to build advanced nuclear. Operation Gigawatt will drive down costs, deliver abundance, and make our state a net energy exporter. We’re accelerating site selection, rightsizing regulation, and getting to work. This is about powering Utah and securing America. 🇺🇸

When you say “Utah is ready to build…” Do you mean “taxpayers?”

The fact that this is basically all you talk about lately, one must wonder which of your donors is paying you to say this? Someone is gonna get rich and the public is gonna get stiffed with the bill.

I'm a huge fan of nuclear power, but what is the plan for the amount of water a plant like this will use?

The only way to make this kind of investments, beneficial to the citizens of Utah is to put this into a citizens trust fund that all citizens of Utah benefit from unlike tracks where we pay for everything continue to pay for everything police it maintain it. They get to expand it and keep all the profits never again Utah. You’re stupid if you do.

What people need to realize is if private companies like the one that owns UTA that we paid for his taxpayers and the federal government to make that profitable for Utah citizens all citizens is for taxpayers to find it and put it into a trust for the citizens of Utah, that will benefit all Utah citizens

Yesterday, Utah made history with a fast-tracked coal lease. But this is about more than coal. Utah is helping secure our future by unleashing every reliable energy source, from nuclear and solar to the 40 critical minerals found right here in our state. Homegrown energy means economic strength and national security. 🇺🇸

Utah is building nuclear energy. 🇺🇸 Last week, Valar Atomics and the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab broke ground on the Ward 250 test reactor in Orangeville. It is one of only 11 projects in the nation selected by the U.S. Department of U.S. Department of Energy for the Reactor Pilot Program. This partnership between Utah, DOE, and Valar Atomics will strengthen our energy security and advance America’s leadership in next-generation nuclear technology.

Between 1970 and 1990, America built 95 gigawatts of nuclear capacity. But then momentum stalled: regulation tightened, costs soared, and we gradually lost the will and ability to build. Today, China is racing ahead. With 30 reactors under construction and hundreds of gigawatts in the pipeline, they’re on track to quickly surpass U.S. nuclear capacity. It’s time for a nuclear renaissance — for energy abundance, for national security, and for American prosperity. It’s time to build again.

Regulations account for approximately $94,000 of the cost of a new home build — $30,000 is just “green energy” regulation. The Trump Administration is taking down these regulations to drive down costs and open housing supply.

WATCH: As the moment for nuclear energy becomes increasingly important, Chairman Shelley Moore Capito visited our country’s only advanced reactor construction site to see this progress firsthand and how it will contribute to American energy dominance. Development of projects like this hold great promise for historic energy producing communities, and will work to deliver the clean and around-the-clock reliable nuclear energy that American homes and businesses need.

I make a lot of jokes about BYU and Utah but this is a state where hockey would thrive and they are already falling in love with the sport! Utah is quite rich and is quite community oriented which is required to grow the sport! BYU or Utah will have a D1 hockey team in the next decade, remember who told you #TusksUp

Our goal is simple: 🇺🇸 Build fertilizer plants in America. 🇺🇸 Produce fertilizer in America. 🇺🇸 Deliver fertilizer to American farmers. By strengthening domestic production and expanding competition, we'll help lower costs for our farmers while securing our nation's food supply. Under President Donald J. Trump's leadership, we're working toward a future where American agriculture is never beholden to foreign—even hostile—nations to feed, fuel, and clothe our country and the world. That's America First in action.

Pritzker: The economic opportunity of building new clean power is enormous. So today, I’ve issued an executive order designed to speed up the development of new clean nuclear power so we can increase our electricity supply and secure our energy future. My goal is to deliver at least two gigawatts of new clean nuclear capacity in our state — enough to power up to two million Illinois homes. For Illinois households and businesses, expanded supply will make electricity less expensive, more reliable, and cleaner — while creating thousands of jobs and maintaining our state’s status as a net energy exporter.

America is going to WIN the AI race and drive down energy costs at the same time. The Trump administration is laser focused on making sure those who build data center power plants also contribute energy to the grid reducing energy costs for the local community.

Britain is the most expensive place in the world to build a nuclear power station. I spoke to MPs on the Energy Security and Net Zero about why that is and how others countries are able to build it cheaply.

Last month, Oklo CEO Jake DeWitte joined Spencer Cox and the Abundance Institute at the Operation Gigawatt Summit in Utah. The discussions focused on the growing role advanced nuclear can play in meeting rising energy demand from AI, data centers, industrial growth, and electrification. The summit also highlighted the opportunities nuclear can create across research, workforce development, supply chains, and economic development. That interest is reflected in Governor Cox's engagement with the industry—from policy conversations to attending milestones like Oklo's Aurora powerhouse groundbreaking at Idaho National Laboratory last year.
