On March 11, Rep. Greg Vitali (D-Delaware), Minority Chair of the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, will hold a briefing on legislative proposals to recognize the contributions nuclear energy makes to Pennsylvania's zero-carbon energy production.
"Legislation will soon be introduced to provide financial support for Pennsylvania’s nuclear power plants," said Rep. Vitali.
