Stop Handouts to the Nuclear Industry

As members of Congress debate energy policy, the nuclear industry is pushing for billions in taxpayer subsidies.

Call the Congressional Switchboard at 800-828-0498. Tell your members of Congress: "No handouts for the nuclear industry."

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.
