First, Indiana. Now Nebraska and Iowa. Nuclear Generation.

What is happening? It wasn’t more than couple weeks ago when we talked about Indiana reversing course on nuclear power to welcome micro reactors and more. Now Congress is having hearings and Nebraska, Wyoming, West Virginia and Iowa seem to be on board too.

Why is this important? Nuclear can supplement renewables as policy makers shift away from fossil fuels. LD84 (2022 | NE) would allow a renewable firm to seek incentives for a nuclear project.

How will this be important? Nebraska Public Power CEO says ““Carbon has business risks as we look to the future.””
