NEIS celebrating blow to Exelon nuclear
…..”Exelon’s overt hostility to renewables and energy efficiency, both here in Illinois with its current legislation, and in its anti-renewable lobbying efforts in Congress, has come back to bite them big time,” said David Kraft, director of the Chicago-based Nuclear Energy Information Service (NEIS), an Illinois nuclear-watchdog organization and renewable energy advocacy group. “For the better part of two years, NEIS has been sounding the alarm with Illinois public officials and largely disinterested journalists that Exelon has been spearheading a nationwide “nuclear war” against renewable energy. Finally, someone in a position of authority and responsibility has gotten the message, saw evidence that this was ‘not being in the public interest,’ and acted to protect their constituents.”
