No New Nukes

On July 17, Maryland PIRG released a new report showing that clean energy is a faster, cheaper, safer, and more reliable choice to power Maryland's energy future than nuclear power.

The report comes in advance of Public Service Commission hearings in August at which the Commission will gather public input about the proposed nuclear reactor.

Maryland PIRG and the Chesapeake Safe Energy Coalition are hosting an open meeting on August 12 in Baltimore to collect public comments that will be entered into the PSC record.

Overview

In October 2006, Constellation Energy announced plans to build the nation’s largest nuclear power plant in southern Maryland.

Nuclear power is a poor solution to Maryland’s energy and global warming problems. Not only is nuclear power extremely expensive, but it also poses threats to public safety and the environment.

Maryland PIRG is working to stop the construction of a new nuclear reactor in Maryland and is advocating for safer and more affordable alternatives.
