A New England study questions the financial viability of regional renewable energy mandates, predicting costs could surpass $815 billion by mid-decade, with Vermont alone facing $32.9 billion by 2050. The study advocates for nuclear power as a cost-effective alternative, suggesting that Vermont's H.601 bill could eliminate unnecessary Renewable Energy Credits for nuclear, potentially saving $20 million annually and promoting a more aggressive nuclear strategy amidst ongoing debates over energy sources.
