Relicensing Vermont Yankee: Deciding our energy future

Our legislators must decide whether to replace Vermont Yankee with clean, local alternatives. At stake are issues of safety, cost, reliability and the legacy we leave for our kids. But some elected leaders are being tempted to strike a deal with the plant’s owners that trades our long-term safety and economy for ‘cheap’ power.

Legislators will return to work January next year and face a series of decisions about the plant. They must use each of these decisions to move us away from our reliance on Vermont Yankee, protect the public interest, and invest in clean, safe and reliable alternatives.
