1 of 32 Nuclear Going Forward in Pennsylvania

Nuclear Matters has taken the conversation about the importance of our existing nuclear fleet to states around the country through our national event series, Nuclear Going Forward [ http://nuclear-going-forward.bna.com/ ]. We were most recently in Pittsburgh, where we hosted a discussion on nuclear's reliability and carbon-free benefits for the state of Pennsylvania, the region and the nation.

Dr. Larry Lindsey, who formerly served as Director of the National Economic Council for President George W. Bush, kicked-off the event with a keynote [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbef-zd3xwQ ]. Dr. Lindsey focused his remarks on the importance of a diverse energy portfolio – with nuclear being a key part of that mix.

Two panels of industry and energy experts followed the keynote. The first [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qorsUoUyu0 ] reflected on how PJM - the energy transmission system serving Pennsylvania - impacts its existing fleet. The conversation featured Maria Korsnick of the Nuclear Energy Institute, Michael Bryson of PJM and Sam Belcher of FirstEnergy. During a second panel [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUB72jS49E4 ], the audience heard about the local impact of the existing nuclear fleet from Gene Barr of the Pennsylvania Chamber, David Howell of Westinghouse and Dr. Arthur Motta of Penn State University.

Our thanks go to all of our partners and event co-host Bloomberg for their collaboration in making this event such a success.
