Statement From Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay On Planned Nuclear Development

“Today’s commitment from Gov. Kathy Hochul to build a new nuclear power facility in New York is a positive step forward in strengthening the state’s energy grid.  As a longtime advocate for nuclear energy—especially with existing plants in Oswego County—I know the critical role it has played for decades as a clean, reliable source of power for New Yorkers. Too often overlooked in the debate over the environment, nuclear energy remains one of the most efficient and low-emission energy sources available to meet the state’s electricity demands.

Oswego is already home to three reactors and would be the ideal site for the new facility. I look forward to working with local and state officials, private industry, and labor partners to help make it happen.”
