Change “renewable” to “clean” – Exelon’s plan to get taxpayer money for nuclear power
Nuclear Power Fights for a Spot in Illinois’ Clean Energy Future State lawmakers are debating whether to keep ailing nuclear plants alive. The outcome will set a precedent for more states to come. CityLab, 28 May 16 JULIAN SPECTOR @JulianSpector
With hard times setting in for some nuclear power plants, Illinois state legislators are trying to decide whether they should put nuclear facilities on life support, or lay them to rest early…….
Exelon is searching for a way to subsidize the struggling plants…….
Exelon proposed a change: switching from a renewable energy standard to a clean—or zero-emissions—standard.
That would give nuclear a new role in the state’s non-carbon energy regulations and, proponents argue, give the struggling plants just enough of a boost to keep them open……http://www.citylab.com/politics/2016/05/illinois-exelon-nuclear-power-plants-renewable-energy-portfolio/484046/
