Nuclear central in Virginia’s energy plan
05 October 2022
As directed by the Virginia General Assembly, every four years the Virginia Department of Energy develops a comprehensive Virginia Energy Plan.
In the foreword to the latest plan, Youngkin said: “We must reject the mindset that it is ‘either/or’, and embrace the reality that it is ‘both/and’. In fact, the only way to confidently move towards a reliable, affordable and clean energy future in Virginia is to go all-in on innovation in nuclear, carbon capture, and new technology like hydrogen generation, along with building on our leadership in offshore wind and solar.”
