PA SENATOR CANDIDATES DISCUSS REOPENING THREE MILE ISLAND

The candidates for Pennsylvania U.S. Senator discussed the plan to reopen Three Mile Island during last night’s debate.  Democratic Senator Bob Casey and Republican Dave McCormick agreed that reopening the site will strengthen the state’s energy portfolio.  However, McCormick said he’s not in favor of what he called “hundreds of billions of subsidies for clean energy projects,” which he claimed are driving inflation.  Constellation Energy and Microsoft plan to restart the unit one reactor at Three Mile Island as part of the process to build the Crane Clean Energy Center.
