Blatant Reality

An Iowa House of Representatives subcommittee recently passed a proposal onto the House that would offer grants to those who want to build a nuclear power plant.

Lawmakers are considering offering more incentives to expand nuclear energy in Iowa.

 

So far 57 representatives have signed onto a proposal to allow nuclear energy projects to apply for millions of dollars in state grant money. The bill has already passed a House subcommittee and heads to the full House Commerce Committee for consideration.

 

“This is, in my opinion, the right direction for the Legislature to send the signal that yes, we are interested in you guys … making this investment, growing the work force,” said Rep. Kraig Paulsen, a Hiawatha Republican who supports the proposal.
