President Trump is overseeing the return of American energy sovereignty through the construction of new oil refineries and nuclear power plants. The Biden administration had begun the process of reactivating nuclear energy by completing the construction of a nuclear power plant in George in 2024. It was the first nuclear reactor to be built in America in over 30 years.
Now, President Trump has overseen the approval of an oil refinery in Brownsville, Texas, and the construction of a first-of-its-kind nuclear reactor in Wyoming. The oil refinery is the first approved building of a new refinery in America in over 50 years. This same week, the nuclear power plant received its approval to build the nuclear reactor. With the need for energy for AI machines, nuclear power is sure to move to the fore of future energy planning, especially micro-reactors for individual AI machines.
