ISSUE:
- CLCPA; clean energy mandates

Senator O'Mara offers his weekly perspective on many of the key challenges and issues facing the Legislature.
Until we begin, in earnest, a straightforward reassessment of the realities of the current CLCPA strategy -- including a recognition of the role that we believe nuclear energy, as well as high-efficiency, low-emissions natural gas generation, can and must play in meeting future electricity needs -- these actions will keep arriving with a devastating price tag and consequences for ratepayers and taxpayers, businesses and industries, school districts, farmers, and entire local communities and economies.
