LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

Lay Pulls Out of Hearings
LCG, Feb. 4, 2002--Lawyers for Ken Lay, the former Enron chairman, issued statements Sunday that Lay would not participate in hearings on Capitol Hill that he had earlier been scheduled to attend.The sudden announcement was based on the lawyers' perception that "judgments have been reached and the tenor of the hearings will be prosecutorial." A report requested by Enron's board also had lain blame on Lay for having failed to pay close enough attention to accounting practices stemming from the company's numerous outside partnerships.Aides for committees that had scheduled hearings have been in contact with Lay's lawyers through today, while members of the committees, such as the House Financial Services Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee, voted in the affirmative to issue subpoenas. Sen. Byron Dorgan said he believed that statements by legislators were not the reason for Lay's absence. He said, "I think Ken Lay was looking for a door. I think the release of the Power report on Saturday evening is a devastating indictment of very serious problems inside that corporation."The House Energy and Commerce Committee is scheduled on Thursday to conduct hearings with Andrew Fastow, the chief financial officer, and Jeffrey Skilling, the former chief executive. Only Skilling is expected to testify, while Fastow will likely invoke the Fifth Amendment.
