Beshear releases energy plan By RONNIE ELLISCNHI News Service Dr. Len Peters, Beshear’s Energy Cabinet secretary, said investors are “waiting for regulatory certainty,” explaining why no new nuclear plants have gone online in the U.S. in more than a decade. But he noted that all but two of the seven states surrounding Kentucky have issued licenses for nuclear power plants.
But Fitzgerald said, “The private sector is simply not putting investment into nuclear plants.” Doerrfeld and KFTC said a recent poll conducted by Opinion Research for the group indicates a majority of Kentucky residents prefer renewable forms of energy and more energy efficiency over coal-fired and nuclear plants. They also called for a focus on creating jobs through green construction programs and an emphasis on providing affordable energy for Kentucky’s lower-income families. Fitzgerald said the plan is a “draft and inviting public comment. This is the beginning of a conversation.” Ronnie Ellis writes for CNHI News Service and is based in Frankfort.
