I'm snowed in, but that Heatmap News AM is. Here's what's in your newsletter this morning: 1. New U.S. Energy Information Administration data show that 93% of new generating capacity this year will come from solar, batteries, and wind. 2. New legislation in California would mostly lift the state's 50-year nuclear moratorium. Ryan Pickering told me was pinching himself. “California has an epic history in nuclear energy. We built 11 reactors across this state and once envisioned up to 14 gigawatts of nuclear electricity. This technology is part of our inheritance as Californians,” he said. “Assembly Bill 2647 gives California the opportunity to begin building nuclear energy again.” 3. NRG Energy is buying NYC's biggest power plant. 4. Russia is formalizing its bid to take over Europe's largest nuclear plant, while Poland's high court rejects a NIMBY environmentalist attempt to slow construction of the country's first atomic power station. 5. Equinor is abandoning a 1-gigawatt blue hydrogen project in the Netherlands, but South America is embracing green H2. PLUS: Taiwan's geothermal sector is finally heating up. https://heatmap.news/am/us-renewables-batteries
