The bill would update the Pennsylvania Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act to recognize nuclear energy for its significant contribution to the state’s zero-carbon energy production, help control future electricity costs for consumers and ensure that existing nuclear power plants remain a viable source for Pennsylvania’s base load electricity supply. Cosponsor of the bill Rep. Dave Millard (R-Columbia), addressed workers at the event.
