The Energy Reliability and Affordability Act in New Jersey proposes funding a new nuclear plant, shifting financial risk to citizens. If passed, electricity bills could increase by $22 to $55, costing citizens up to $6,600 over a decade.

Opposition arises from lawmakers and constituents concerned about affordability, especially after prior price hikes. Supporters argue the bill is necessary for future energy needs. Similar initiatives are underway in Tennessee for uranium enrichment.
