New York takes two more steps toward nuclear
In 2025, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was a vocal supporter of new nuclear development in the state. In October, she called on the New York Power Authority (NYPA)—the state’s public electric utility—to add 1 GW of new nuclear.
At the tail end of December, New York made more nuclear progress on three fronts. Hochul signed an agreement with Ontario Premier Doug Ford to collaborate on new nuclear development, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) signed a memorandum of understanding with the NYPA, and New York finalized its 2025 energy plan.

Technical Note on Cold Fusion | doi.org/10.13182/FST92-A30111
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
A previous technical note suggests that cold fusion is a small-scale simulation of events that occur in cold stars faraway in the universe. Therefore, it is expected that tiny black holes might be produced during cold fusion. A search for tiny black holes whose traces might have been recorded on nuclear emulsions is described. Several traces suggesting the production and evaporation of tiny black holes have been successfully observed.
