What's New

A settlement reached between the State of Maryland and Constellation Energy on March 27 helps pave the way for Constellation Energy to build a dangerous new nuclear power plant in Maryland.

Maryland PIRG continues to make the case in the media and through our advocacy that nuclear power plants are unsafe and expensive, and that cleaner, safer, and more affordable alternatives exist.

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.



Maryland PIRG’s David Kosmos explains to reporters why Constellation should turn its back on plans to build a new nuclear reactor and pursue safer, cleaner and cheaper solutions to our energy problems.
