AFP-Wisconsin Urges Lawmakers to Reject Utility Handout Disguised as Nuclear Renaissance
Madison, WI — Americans for Prosperity–Wisconsin (AFP-WI) urged Representatives in the Assembly to vote NO on Assembly Bill 472, warning the bill misuses Wisconsin’s pro-nuclear momentum to advance a utility handout that shifts financial risk from investors onto ratepayers.
AFP-Wisconsin remains pro-nuclear and supports reliable, affordable, and innovative energy solutions for ratepayers like:
- Supporting nuclear innovation without utility handouts or subsidies
- Promoting behind-the-meter generation and microgrids
- Streamlining permitting with enforceable deadlines
- Requiring competitive bidding and private-sector participation
- Prohibiting premature cost recovery
- Keeping construction and investment risks with investors, not ratepayers
- Promoting competition, accountability, and lower energy costs
Through broad-based grassroots outreach, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is driving long-term solutions to the country’s biggest problems. AFP activists engage friends and neighbors on key issues and encourage them to take an active role in building a culture of mutual benefit, where people succeed by helping one another. AFP recruits and unites Wisconsinites behind a common goal of advancing policies that will help people improve their lives. For more information, visit www.AmericansForProsperity.org
