Tennessee is planting its flag as America's leader in new nuclear energy technology

[Duppers]

Amid the planned expansion of nuclear energy innovation in Tennessee, Gov. Bill Lee on May 16 signed an executive order establishing a state nuclear advisory council.

During an appearance at Zeanah Engineering Complex at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Lee said a new 15-member Tennessee Nuclear Energy Advisory Council would include members of his administration, the Tennessee General Assembly, the state's congressional delegation and key nuclear industry stakeholders.

2. Every state will have to go this route if we are going to make everything electric.

Might be our only hope.

3. Soooooo simply starting an advisory council in 2023 makes a state a "leader" on nuclear energy?

That's a sad state of affairs.

4. That is better than many other states are doing. BESIDES...
