Good. The entire country needs to get past the dumb belief that nuclear power is dangerous. We could solve a lot of energy issues with nuclear power but for some "reason" it gets a lot of resistance. Why? Are the windmill and solar companies scared that nuclear is way better than what they have to offer? Are politicians and others that stand to heavily profit from the usual green initiatives worried that they won’t be lining their pockets enough?

the generation that got scared by 3 mile island and "china syndrome" are the ones in power in the government. it's also in their interest (bribes) to ban nuclear power.
About time! Now the rest of the states that don't have major seismic/weather activity please follow.
It's a hurdle out of the way, and I've got some tempered enthusiasm as long as ComEd doesn't touch it.
Unfortunately any construction is going to have a long enough tail the opportunity to grift off this one will outlive JB. Maybe we defy gravity for once in Illinois.
What’s JB waiting for?
Probably a couple thousand bucks to appear in his pocket
