What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A group of Democratic state lawmakers submitted a letter opposing the potential expansion of nuclear generation in New York as the public comment period closed on the Advanced Nuclear Policy Options Paper. The strategy proposed by Governor Kathy Hochul included an expansion to 1 gigawatt of nuclear energy. The criticism centered on the argument that taxpayers and ratepayers should not be asked to subsidize new nuclear projects.

Hochul is currently seeking to build new nuclear power while simultaneously delaying a climate protection act.
