(The Center Square) – After an Illinois state senator filed legislation to streamline permits for nuclear energy projects, Gov J.B. Pritzker suggested ending the state’s moratorium on new large-scale nuclear plants.
When asked about high energy costs at the Illinois State Fair Wednesday, the governor said Illinois could do something important by lifting the decades-old moratorium.
“We already got rid of it on small modular nuclear. We can do that on large nuclear. It’s going to be an important part of a transition to renewable energy everywhere,” Pritzker said.
