The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) moves to inhibit the expanstion of renewable energy making it difficult to impossible for states to reduce carbon emitting sources of energy and build out new renewable energy.

In Illinois this decission was not unanticipated by the environmental and renewable energy communities and legislation that would allow the state to take over the capacity market, away from PJM and the control of FERC, is under consideration as a way to continue the effort of the state to get to 100% renewable energy. NEIS is concerned about any long term agrement that would allow nuclear energy to continue operation during this transition to 100% renewable energy. Especially as Exelon, the nuclear operator in Illinois is under federal scrutiny.

Our goal is that the use of nuclear power ends so that the risk of a nuclear power accidents are eliminated and that the creation of radioactive high level nuclear waste stops. NEIS opposes the catagorization of nuclear energy as 'clean' energy because of the unique radioactive hazard involved in nuclear energy. We continue to advocate for these goals as well as the just transitions of workers and communities and better solutions to manage the nation's nuclear waste.

Germany proceeds with its plan to completely stop using nuclear power and shutdown all its nuclear power plants before its fossil fuel plants as the country invests in a 100% renewable energy future. The global nuclear industry hopes they fail but they won't. Nuclear energy is to dangerous to keep operating and Germany knows it.
