NRDC targets Iowa data center environmental impact

A national environmental group, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), has offered early support for the recommissioning of the Duane Arnold nuclear plant in Iowa. The NRDC believes the plant is a safer option for meeting data center electrical demand compared to coal or gas-fired power generation. This support specifically backs the ownership consolidation under NextEra Energy Resources as part of the federal regulatory process.
