University and utility company say it could help university reduce carbon footprint
Purdue University officials have begun to explore plans to build nuclear reactors on campus to establish a clean and sustainable energy source that would help the campus move toward its goal of carbon neutrality.
The plan would include the development of Small Modular Reactors across Purdue’s campus that would offer long-term functionality for energy needs.
Purdue told The College Fix that the proposal fits into its goals of “reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
“On solar and wind, Purdue is investigating and undertaking multiple pathways to reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” spokesperson Tim Doty told The Fix . He referenced a 2020 planning document that described the Big Ten university’s plans for renewable energy.
“As outlined in the 2020 Physical Facilities Sustainability Master Plan, the University is pursuing 500 kW of renewable energy and plans to cap total energy consumption at FY11 levels despite an increase in total campus gross square feet,” Doty stated.
He told The Fix “an SMR could serve as the baseload energy source and can be combined together with other renewables.”
He stated that since the research into the plan had only just been announced, he cannot answer any specific questions regarding the proposal. The Fix asked about potential costs and safety concerns. The feasibility of the plan is being jointly explored with Duke Energy. The Fix reached out via email to Angeline Protogere, a spokesperson for Duke Energy, and asked about the motives behind the partnership and any safety concerns about the nuclear reactors.“Supporting technology development is critical for our nation and could play an important role in helping us achieve our goals for attaining net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” Protogere told The Fix on May 9. “[P]articularly as we look at how advanced nuclear can complement renewable energy like wind […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
