During a CNN’s State of the Union appearance, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin touted his recently-unveiled 2022 Virginia Energy Plan.
“We have a great opportunity in Virginia to lead the nation in the development of small modular reactors and nuclear to provide base load power that’s clean and reliable and affordable,” Youngkin said. “This is why common sense has to come back into this equation, we can’t evacuate one of our strengths, which is the fact that we innovate in America.”
