The state legislature’s Energy, Utilities and Technology committee held a work session this week for LD 343. The original title of the bill (and the title still posted on the legislature’s website as of Wednesday afternoon, was “An Act to Direct the Public Utilities Commission to Seek Informational Bids Regarding Small Modular Nuclear Reactors in the State”, but the committee chair noted that the name was changed by amendment last October to “An Act to Ensure Periodic Assessment for Clean Energy Technology”. Here are some clips from the discussion at the work session. You can listen to/watch the entire meeting, archived here
