While legislation awaiting Gov. J.B. Pritzker's signature would lift moratorium, it likely won't lead to automatic atomic energy boom.

What’s JB waiting for? We’ve burned fossil fuels for 40 years since this moratorium was put in place and look where it got us.

    Good. The entire country needs to get past the dumb belief that nuclear power is dangerous. We could solve a lot of energy issues with nuclear power but for some “reason” it gets a lot of resistance. Why? Are the windmill and solar companies scared that nuclear is way better than what they have to offer? Are politicians and others that stand to heavily profit from the usual green initiatives worried that they won’t be lining their pockets enough?
