Mike Kramer: Navigating power deals in the new data economy
Mike Kramer has a background in finance, not engineering, but a combined 20 years at Exelon and Constellation and a key role in the deals that have Meta and Microsoft buying power from Constellation’s Clinton and Crane sites have made him something of a nuclear expert.
Kramer spoke with Nuclear News staff writer Susan Gallier in late August, just after a visit to Clinton in central Illinois to celebrate a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Meta that closed in June. As Constellation’s vice president for data economy strategy, Kramer was part of the deal-making—not just the celebration.
Introduce your elementary school students to the atom and the world of nuclear energy with digital lesson plans, project starters, career resources, and more!
Start small by exploring an atom as the foundation for nuclear energy. Then, go big and compare energy sources for electricity solutions! Navigating Nuclear provides you with standards-aligned resources to connect students to applications of nuclear energy on land, in the sea, and even in deep space!
Educator Lesson Plan | 45 Minutes
Students are introduced to the concept of the atom. The class will simulate an atom’s structure as they take on the role of parts of the nucleus. They will be led to understand that different kinds of atoms make up everything around us.
Download Digital Lesson
Students will be challenged to investigate different energy sources as they seek to find an electricity solution for a remote location.
