A slew of private investments in nuclear energy signals opportunity, yet Illinois remains one of only 12 states that limits production. The potential benefits include high-paying jobs, new private investment, millions in tax revenue and support for its clean energy ambitions.
Democrats for decades stopped nuclear power whenever they could over concerns of spent fuel storage, even blocking the Yucca Mtn site. Now that it’s pretty clear Democrats have damaged the electric grid and dramatically driven costs up for consumers with their ‘Climate Equity’ actions which relied on windmills and solar panels which were known failures as a primary power supply along with massive taxpayer handouts. Nuclear plants are complicated machines which have redundant safety feature for failures can’t happen, so they take YEARS to construct. The best near-term solution is to undo EVERYTHING Democrats did.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
