JOIN ECA AND DOE TO DISCUSS COAL-TO-NUCLEAR TRANSITION

Join the Energy Communities Alliance and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) as they present Coal-to-Nuclear (C2N) Transition Webinar on September 11 from 1:00-2:30 pm ET. 

As part of ECA’s New Nuclear Initiative, participants will join a discussion with DOE-NE on the feasibility of converting the nation’s retiring coal plants to nuclear power plants. By leveraging the existing workforce and some of the infrastructure in coal communities the transition from coal-to-nuclear could preserve hundreds of jobs, while creating new jobs and economic opportunities.

Please submit any questions you ay have beforehand to Faith Sanchez, Energy Communities Alliance, faiths@energyca.org.
