North Country Assemblyman Scott Gray, of Watertown, is advocating for a recently proposed nuclear power plant to be built in northern New York.
Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans last week for a nuclear, zero-emission plant to be built in upstate New York. It’s part of her initiative to increase sustainable energy in the state.
That’s provoked criticism, praise, and everything in between from both Democrats and Republicans.
Assemblyman Scott Gray is hosting an event this month to advocate for and inform the public about nuclear power.
Representatives from Clarkson University, IBEW and the NYS Pipe Trades Union are scheduled to speak.
State officials have said there are no definitive plans yet for the location of the plant.
