“Good ideas sometimes take a while to gain acceptance; but eventually the wisdom of their merits can no longer be ignored, and the good idea takes hold. So it might be, at long last, for the promise of nuclear energy in our state.
HB25-1040 passed the Colorado House of Representatives early last week, on a strongly bipartisan vote, and has now been introduced in the Senate, where it will soon be heard in the Transportation and Energy Committee. If passed, the bill will simply include “nuclear energy” under the statutory definition of “clean energy.” If you were to ask the average person on the street if they believe that nuclear power is clean, nearly every one you speak to would reply “yes.” This bill just cements common sense into statute.”
