Wisconsin will retain law preventing nuclear power plant construction

Nuclear power plant measure fizzles « The Daily Reporter: Paul Snyder,  April 21, 2010 Nuclear power plant construction in Wisconsin likely will be just as difficult to accomplish after the legislative session as it was before…. the Assembly did not debate the act during its session Tuesday, and, even if it were to pass the Assembly, the Senate does not have the votes to pass the act as drafted, said Carrie Lynch, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, D-Wausau.

The Clean Energy Jobs Act would repeal a state law that prohibits nuclear power plant construction in Wisconsin until the federal government builds a repository to store nuclear waste.That law, Soletski said, creates a moratorium on nuclear plant development.
