A Chain Reaction: The Role of Nuclear Energy in New England’s Energy Mix
The New England region, arguably one of
the most environmentally conscious regions of the country, has long
demonstrated a commitment to clean air. Nuclear energy has played a key
role in reducing CO2 emissions and remains a significant asset in the
Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Yet existing nuclear plants face
many challenges and competing market forces in the northeast.
Please register to watch the livestream of this event, which
will explore the options for nuclear energy going forward. Industry and
policy experts will engage in a spirited conversation about the key
questions and the future of nuclear energy in the northeast.
Key Areas of Discussion:
- What role should nuclear energy play in helping to achieve the environmental and energy objectives for New England?
- How can the region best balance a commitment to the environment with the demands to supply cheaper energy?
- How will advanced technology reactors, currently being pursued by technologists in the region, affect the industry?
- How
will the closure of Entergy’s Vermont Yankee reactor, and economic
challenges to reactors throughout the region, affect New England’s
energy mix?
- If nuclear power is here to stay, how should it fit into New England’s clean energy initiatives?
