Nuclear legislation progresses in the Midwest
In the past week, two pieces of nuclear legislation moved forward in two Midwestern states.
In Wisconsin, a bill to create new tax credits for new power plants passed through the state Assembly and went to the Senate, while in Indiana, a bill to simplify the state approval process for new plants passed through the state Senate and went to the House.
