Plans for Hanford, which was an integral component of the nation’s nuclear arsenal after World War II, had just begun to move forward when President Trump began his moment.

Richland Report, Wash.
In the weeks since President Trump, he has led to the liberalization of oil and fuel production and signed executive orders at the end of the country’s transition to renewable energy.
But in Washington state, a government-led effort has just begun building what deserves to be the Giantst Sun generating station in the country. The assignment is progressing nonetheless, after decades of cleaning up radioactive and chemical waste in adjustments and outings, at the Hanford Nuclear Stockpile, a desert exploration that was a must-have in the country’s Weapons Arsenal in 1943 until it was closed in 1989. One developer, Hecate, was led last year to the expansions of the site’s redevelopment expansions into sun parks.
Hecate will have access to 10,300 acres that the government has decided is safe enough to rebuild. The corporation has already begun site assessment on 8,000 acres, a domain about 10 times the length of New York City’s Central Park and enough domain for 3. 45 million photovoltaic panels (the Hanford site is about 400,000 acres).
If everything agrees with the plan, the hecate project, which is expected to end in 2030, it will be through the giant site that the government has cleaned and changed on lands that had been used for nuclear research, weapons and waste storage. of $ 4 billion. Panels and photovoltaic batteries will obtain twice more strength than a traditional nuclear force plant. The existing solar plant in the country, the solar installation of Copper Mountain in Nevada, can generate up to 802 megawatts of force.
The big unknown that still hangs over the plan is that the Trump administration will thwart the efforts that Biden Management has put in position to expand cleaner electric power generation.
