In October, the U.S. government signed on to an $80 billion deal with Westinghouse Electric Company to construct ten new large nuclear reactors. The plan hopes to see all ten reactor projects break ground by 2030 featuring the Westinghouse AP1000 design. The deal is sweetened for the U.S. through the promise of a 20% stake in Westinghouse after the company doles out an initial $17.5 billion to private shareholders. AI, Big Tech, and the military-industrial complex are all behind this administration’s push to bring the U.S. to the “forefront of the nuclear renaissance” — as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick put it. — Trading View, Oct. 28, 2025
