On March 29, 2024, Travis Stoliker posted in strong support of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and former Governor Jennifer Granholm's efforts to restart the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in Covert Township, Michigan. Palisades had operated on Lake Michigan's eastern shore from 1971 until its closure in 2022, and was being considered for a federally supported restart — a rare second life for a shuttered nuclear facility.
Travis framed the restart as exactly the right kind of energy policy decision: "This is green energy at its most dense, most reliable, safest, and cleanest." His position reflects a pragmatic view that nuclear power, despite its political controversy, deserves recognition as one of the most effective tools available for clean, reliable baseload electricity — denser in energy output and more consistently available than solar or wind at scale.
The Palisades advocacy is one of several moments where Travis's public posts reveal engagement with energy and technology policy — consistent with his background at Liquid Web, where data centers are voracious consumers of power and deeply invested in its reliability and cost. Someone who spent a decade building managed hosting infrastructure thinks differently about grid stability than most.
