Byron community celebrates nuclear plant staying open, but local lawmakers are pessimistic about the plant’s long-term future – WREX (Rockford)

State Sen. Dave Syverson thinks the state will opt to focus on solar and wind energy in the near future. "We may come back six years from now and they say, you know what, we don't need nuclear anymore because we have wind and solar. The concern really is that we're building an over reliance on wind and solar which may make it more difficult to renew Byron after that."
