To reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gases, Dairyland Power Cooperative, a Wisconsin electric cooperative, discussed a desire to reenter the nuclear power business for the first time since closing its Genoa, Wisconsin reactor in 1987. Concerns about carbon emissions, demands that outpace development of renewables, and advances in nuclear technology have caught the attention of executives at Dairyland. Dairyland’s CEO Brent Ridge expressed interest in nuclear and suggested that the issue of spent fuel should not hinder the construction of new projects.
