EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - Collecting a lot of candy on Halloween means collecting a lot of wrappers. One local business wants to make sure that plastic doesn't end up in a landfill.
The Eau Claire Refillery is once again collecting candy wrappers, which will be donated to Rubicon and the National Wildlife Federation.
The Eau Claire Refillery, located at 207 North Barstow, is open seven days a week.

Nuclear energy provides almost 20 percent of the U.S. electricity supply. Advocates have called for an expanded role for nuclear as an emissions-free fuel source. But the economics of building new reactors are daunting. In addition, lingering safety concerns are an institutionalized part of the calculation of nuclear regulation, and highly radioactive nuclear waste remains a can that public officials have been inclined to kick down the road. The Energy Information Administration projects a sharp decline in nuclear power generation over the next decade, as new nuclear plants — two are planned — are more than offset by anticipated retirements of several operating reactors.
