WASHINGTON, D.C. — The following is a statement from Ray Long, President and CEO of ACORE, on Meta’s landmark nuclear energy announcement today.

“ACORE is thrilled to see this major announcement from our member company, Meta, on its agreements with Vistra, Oklo, and TerraPower to unlock up to 6.6 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2035. As the U.S. faces rapid electricity demand growth, agreements like these demonstrate how private sector leadership can catalyze new energy solutions and reinforce grid reliability for all. These projects will deliver firm, carbon-free electricity while speeding the deployment of advanced reactor technologies, supporting thousands of jobs in the U.S., and fortifying the grid,” said President and CEO Ray Long.

At the top of the news is the Trump’s administration’s day-long prayer event featured speakers from President Trump’s cabinet and a program that drew connections between the nation’s founding and Christianity.
