Several bills that would make Hoosiers pay some of the cost of building small modular nuclear reactors are working their way through the Indiana Statehouse.

Data centers require 24/7 power — and a lot of it. But Indiana utilities weren’t anticipating this when they made plans to get more power from sources like wind and solar.
