State Rep. Graham Filler testified before the House Energy, Communications, and Technology Committee in support of a bipartisan plan aimed at making Michigan a national leader in nuclear energy innovation. Michigan, already a top-10 state for nuclear energy, is looking to advance its nuclear industry by embracing cutting-edge technology and fostering innovation. The plan, supported by a group of bipartisan representatives, aims to remove barriers for advanced nuclear reactors, establish education grants for colleges and universities, incentivize research and development in the nuclear energy field, create a fund for educational grants, and provide scholarships to attract and retain a skilled workforce. Filler emphasized the importance of job creation, manufacturing, small modular reactors, education, and job training programs as part of the evolving nuclear energy landscape. This initiative sends a clear message that Michigan is open for business in the realm of safe, reliable, and clean energy. By positioning Michigan as a pioneer in nuclear energy, the plan underscores the state's commitment to excellence in energy production and workforce development.
