Energy Sec. Wright: We‘re Going to See Shovels in the Ground This Year for Nuclear Construction, that Hasn’t Happened for Decades

RUSH EXCERPT:
WRIGHT: "Yeah, we‘re going to see shovels in the ground this year for nuclear construction. That has not happened in this country for decades. We built a whole bunch of plants in the 60s and 70s and 80s, and then we stopped. We‘ve had 30 years of almost no growth in U.S. nuclear energy, but we‘re going to see shovels in the ground on multiple projects this year, multiple more next year. And in fact, we‘ve got a restart of a plant in southwest Michigan that was shut down two and a half years ago. That will be back running by the end of this year or early next year. We just need more affordable, reliable, secure energy that works when the wind‘s not blowing and the sun‘s not shining. So many sources of it. But nuclear should be a huge player in that."
