Palisades nuclear plant restart

Executive director of Don't Waste Michigan warned Kalamazoo is 35 miles downwind of the proposed Palisades restart, cited a recent safety incident and $3.5 billion in public subsidies, and asked the commission to consider a resolution against it.

Founder of Michigan Safe Energy Future's Kalamazoo chapter urged the commission to pass a resolution opposing both the Palisades restart and new reactors, citing radiation release risks, thyroid cancer reports near South Haven, and Holtec's inexperience.
