Hochul's upstate nuclear power plant proposal comes with mixed reactions
Gov. Kathy Hochul is directing the New York Power Authority to build a zero-emission nuclear power plant somewhere in upstate New York, where the state’s three other nuclear power plants reside.
The move comes as a surprise to clean energy advocates who have been waiting for her administration to come out with cap-and-invest regulations under the 2019 climate act which mandates a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
