Nuclear Matters kicked off 2015 by hosting two events -- one in Illinois, and another in Ohio. Each provided a valuable opportunity to educate new audiences about the importance of preserving our current nuclear fleet.
* Illinois' Energy Future at the City Club of Chicago *
On January 27, Nuclear Matters Co-Chair Evan Bayh joined Leadership Council members Carol M. Browner and Sean McGarvey at the City Club of Chicago -- a non-profit, non-partisan organization whose members include prominent business, civic and government leaders in Chicago -- for a conversation on the importance of Illinois' nuclear energy plants. Doug Scott, Chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, rounded-out the panel. During this sold-out event, the group discussed how the Illinois General Assembly has already started communicating the importance of these plants by passing House Resolution 1146, a report which explains the value of Illinois' nuclear fleet and the negative impacts if plants were taken offline.
