Last month, it the proposal to repeal parts of legislation from 2016 that saved the Clinton Nuclear Power plant and allowed to remain operational for 10 years.

Thursday morning on the WHOW Morning Show, State Senator Chapin Rose told Regional Radio News it will likely take a fight to keep the legislation in place. He believes opponents of the law will guilt Democratic Governor JB Pritzker into doing something.

According to Sen. Rose, doing away with the nuclear subsidy in this legislation would increase the subsidies for wind and solar but it would still raise prices.

Sen. Rose believes the environmental community is trying to portray the Governor as a 'do nothing liberal on the environment'. While he disagrees with that idea, one of the few things the Governor didn't address was energy and as the Senator studies this more, he believes more and more this is going to be a battle.

Initially, the Senator thought this was simply a press release bill, but indicates he has become far more concerned about it.
