#  Nuclear Energy, Data Centers, and the Bigger Policy Picture with Eric Epstein - Episode 108

 

In this episode of Eye on the Issues, we sit down with Eric Epstein, Chairman of Three Mile Island Alert, an organization that has monitored nuclear facilities in Pennsylvania for decades. Eric brings more than 40 years of experience working on issues related to nuclear power plants, waste storage, regulatory oversight, and the long-term realities communities face when large energy facilities are built in their regions.

This conversation is especially relevant as states across the country — including Wyoming — explore new energy development tied to the growing demand for electricity from AI, data centers, and advanced manufacturing. In Pennsylvania, several nuclear facilities are now being considered or restarted specifically to power data centers and large technology companies, offering a real-world example of how energy development, economic opportunity, water use, and long-term waste management intersect.

As Wyoming continues to discuss nuclear energy, data centers, and large-scale industrial development, this episode provides insight from a region that has lived with large energy facilities for generations and is now navigating the new wave of electricity demand driven by AI and data infrastructure.
