Gov. Tony Evers Signs Bills to Bolster Nuclear Power in Wisconsin

WISCONSIN, JUL 2 – Bills include a $2 million study and creation of a Nuclear Power Summit Board to promote fusion innovation and address rising energy demands and carbon reduction, lawmakers said.

  • On Wednesday, Governor Tony Evers approved two bipartisan measures aimed at advancing nuclear power development in Wisconsin.
  • The bills respond to growing interest in nuclear fusion after scientists produced more energy from fusion than used to ignite it in 2022.
  • One bill provides $2 million to conduct a study identifying the most suitable site within Wisconsin for a nuclear fusion power facility, while the other establishes a board aimed at promoting fusion technology development.
  • Evers stated that these bills aim to reduce expenses related to energy and enhance self-sufficiency by decreasing dependence on energy from other states, while Rep. Shae Sortwell described the initiative as a "nuclear renaissance."
  • The state plans to host a summit in 2028 and aims to become a leader in nuclear power development, sometimes called the 'Silicon Valley' for this sector.
