Instead of making us more energy independent, operating TMI-1 would make us more dependent on Russian uranium. It’s not the answer to Pennsylvania’s energy needs; it’s a cost center, a resource drain, a morass of risk, and it’s needless.
Pennsylvania ratepayers will foot the bill from Three Mile Island restart, while Microsoft gets the power | Opinion

WWS also creates 25 mil more jobs than lost, uses less land & results in much less mining

Lower costs, better health, better climate, more jobs, less land, less mining, more energy security. No downside
