State Lawmaker Introduces Bill To Save Pennsylvania’s Nuclear Power Plants

A state lawmaker is introducing a bill he feels could save Pennsylvania’s nuclear power plants. Representative Tom Mehaffie says the Keep Powering Pennsylvania Act would add nuclear energy to the Pennsylvania Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards program. He says that would allow nuclear power to be used like solar and wind renewable energy….

The bill comes at a 500-million dollar price tag, with Mehaffie adding that the cost of doing nothing is four-point-six billion. Those against the plan say Three Mile Island has been bailed out numerous times and still isn’t profitable.
