Should Connecticut support the expansion of nuclear power?
Poll Description

Gov. Ned Lamont recently suggested that Connecticut’s energy future may include an expansion of “modular nukes,” which are small, advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW per unit.

As incoming President Donald Trump says he is going to reduce tax incentives for wind power, Lamont told the Hartford Business Journal that he would be open to supporting the expansion of nuclear capacity in Connecticut. 

Offshore wind projects have faced hurdles, including construction delays and cost overruns. In comparison, some experts say nuclear energy – which does not emit air pollution, but produces nuclear waste – is a better option to meet growing demand.
