The Biden administration has announced plans to reignite a shuttered Michigan nuclear power plant with a $1.5 billion loan that, combined with other nuclear announcements yesterday, suggests the US federal government is right now all in on nuclear energy.

The Biden administration said on Monday that a final deal had been made to give an energy company a $1.52 billion loan guarantee to bring a Michigan nuclear power plant back to life.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced the loan with the owners of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant, which is based in Covert, Michigan, just south of South Haven along the shore of the Great Lakes. Another $1.3 billion will help keep energy costs low for the 800,000 homes that will receive power from the facility.
