Advocates Oppose Incentives for New Nuclear And Methane Gas Facilities In Maryland February 3, 2025

Food & Water Watch

“New nuclear plants would cost Marylanders billions of dollars, with higher taxes and energy bills, and would take ten to twenty years to build – the cost is not just dollars, but lives lost every year while we fail to reduce fossil fuel pollution and effectively address climate change. New gas-burning plants also create higher energy costs, and harm our health by emitting pollutants and climate change causing greenhouse gases that we need to reduce. This is not the clean energy future that Maryland needs.” Gwen DuBois, M.D., M.P.H., President, Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility.
