Co-locating energy-intensive data centers with power generation facilities is viewed as a strategic solution to access large sources of electricity without lengthy interconnection processes or extensive grid
upgrades. Recently, technology firms have turned to nuclear power for its steady, carbon-free output to directly power these high-demand facilities. However, the co-location trend has raised concerns over grid reliability and potential cost impacts.

As carbon management grows as a critical tool for climate action, federal strategies and state legislation are evolving to promote efficient and responsible development of carbon capture projects and carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines. However, ongoing opposition and legal challenges, particularly concerning the use of eminent domain, reflect the complexities the industry must navigate to fully emerge. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) involves the capture of CO2 from the emissions of industrial processes before they are released into the atmosphere for storage in subsurface geological formations.

The push to expand energy storage capacity reflects the drive for more resilient and flexible energy systems to support the shift to clean energy. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) anticipates significant growth in energy storage with nearly 36 gigawatts (GW) added by the end of 2028 based on plans reported by utilities. At the end of 2023, U.S. electric utilities reported operating about 15.8 GW of battery storage capacity.
